Hutchison Ports boost productivity with new cranes at Thai box terminal
HUTCHISON Ports Thailand's Terminal D received four additional remote-controlled super post panamax quay cranes and eight remote-controlled rubber-tyred gantry cranes, all electrically powered, last month.
The consignment of quay cranes will be the largest in Thailand. The cranes have an outreach of twenty-four rows and are capable of handling boxes stacked up to ten high above the vessel deck.
With this additional equipment, Terminal D will be operating with fourteen super post panamax quay cranes with the final three quay cranes and seven rubber-tyred gantry cranes scheduled for delivery in early 2026.
Moreover, the ongoing roll out of container stacking area and automated truck gate lanes are expected to support the smoother operational flow in the Terminal D container yard which, in turn, will further improve vessel productivity, reports Greece's Container News.
