New cranes for Yilport, Ecuador

Yilport’s Puerto Bolivar terminal in Ecuador has received four new ship-to-shore gantry cranes and one additional rubber-tyred-gantry (RTG) unit (taking the terminal’s total to 18 RTGs overall), which boosts capacity to around one million TEU per annum. The new STS cranes are supporting the Phase II expansion project, which is increasing the berth length to 1410m, of which 780m is for dedicated container activities. Operations are due to commence before the end of Q1 2024.
