Each RTG is able to stack boxes up to five containers high and operate over six container rows wide plus a truck lane.
Located at the former Rodman Cocoli Naval Base, Arraiján, PSA Panama recently increased its annual capacity to two million TEU per annum. The facility continues to act as a key transshipment hub on the Pacific Coast of Panama, located at the entrance to the Panama Canal.
