TPS wins double STS order for Sabah Ports
Terex Port Solutions (TPS) has received an order from Malaysian port operator Sabah Ports to supply two Terex ship-to-shore cranes (STS) to its Sapangar Bay Container Port (SBCP) operation.
The cranes will be manufactured at the TPS site in Xiamen, PR China, and are due to be put into operation in the second half of 2017.
Strategically located along the busy shipping routes between the Far East and Europe, the port is faced with the challenge of constantly increasing handling rates. The STS cranes will help SBCP to enhance significantly the productivity of its operations.
Mohd Sahid Hj Nawab Khan, Chief Operating Officer, Sabah Ports: “We have full confidence that the new cranes to Sapangar Bay Container Port will enhance the ports productivity level. We are committed towards strengthening our fleet of machineries with state of the art and innovative range of solutions provided by TPS to ensure we meet the demands of our users.”
These cranes offer SBCP a lifting capacity of 41 t under twin-lift spreader, an outreach of 45 m and are designed to load and unload container vessels with up to 15 rows.
They are part of a series of orders that Sabah Ports recently placed with TPS. In June 2016, one Terex Gottwald Model 2 mobile harbour crane as well as two Terex reach stackers, one for Sabah Port’s terminal in the Port of Sandakan and the other for the Port of Tawau, were put into operation.
