INTERNATIONAL Container Terminal Services, Inc's business unit operating at the Port of Manzanillo, Contecon Manzanillo (CMSA), is adding four new state-of-the-art rubber-tyred gantries (RTG) to its landside equipment fleet to further consolidate cargo movement in Mexico's most important port.

Representing an investment of US$8 million, the new RTGs will help speed up container loading and unloading times at the terminal. They also reaffirm the company's commitment to continue strengthening and expanding the port for the benefit of the supply chain, the company said in a statement.
"With the integration of these RTGs, in addition to the four that we received in the beginning of 2022, we will double our capacity to move cargo -especially by rail- thus adapting to the requirements of the market and our clients," said Jose Antonio Contreras, CMSA chief executive officer.
Mr Contreras added that "the arrival of this equipment, together with the investment of US$230 million in infrastructure and equipment that we are going to start in a few weeks, as well as the construction by ASIPONA of the new exclusive access road to the northern zone of the port and the arrival of the new x-ray equipment for Customs, will consolidate and make the operation of our terminal in Manzanillo more efficient."
Streamlining CMSA's operations at the Port of Manzanillo is vital to ensure to the seamless transit of cargo from all over Mexico, especially considering the port's status as the preferred gateway to the Pacific coast for shippers from Asia.
