Eco Hybrid RTGs for Philippines terminal

International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) ordered the hybrid RTG cranes for its flagship Manila International Container Terminal (MICT).

“Manufactured by Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. (MES) of Japan, the Mitsui Li-ion Hybrid RTGs are expected to reduce emissions by more than 50 percent compared to the previous RTGs at the country’s largest and most important international trading gateway,” said ICTSI.

The RTGs form part of ICTSI’s efforts to incorporate environmentally sustainable technology in its operations globally.

In 1988, International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) won the 25 + 25 years concession to operate the Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) in an international tender. Since ICTSI’s takeover, MICT has increased its annual capacity five-fold, expanded its container handling fleet to make it the largest and most modern container terminal in the Philippines, and switched from a manual control system to an integrated real-time IT terminal control system.
