Kumport e-RTG project completed
Turkish port operator Kumport’s eight Kalmar diesel powered rubber-tyred gantry cranes (RTGs) have been converted to e-RTGs by a joint team from Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries Co. Ltd (ZPMC) and ZPMC Mediterranean Turkey.
The conversion is expected to increase efficiency and productivity at the port, while simultaneously reducing emissions and fostering sustainability.
Kumport’s e-RTG conversion project was ambitious in its time frame as it planned to finish each conversion in just four days. But impressively the joint team managed to improve the already ambitious deadline by completing each conversion in two days with all adjustments and handover made without blocking daily operations at the port.
