Hutchison Ports Thailand upgrades operations with new equipment
Hutchison Ports Thailand’s (HPT) Terminal D has received delivery
of a further four remote-controlled super post panamax quay cranes and eight
remote-controlled RTG cranes, all electrically powered.
This batch of quay cranes will reportedly be the largest in Thailand, with
an outreach of 24 rows and capable of handling containers that are stacked up to
10 high above the vessel deck.
With this additional equipment, Terminal D will be operating with 14 super
post panamax quay cranes with the final three quay cranes and seven rubber-tyred
gantry cranes scheduled for delivery in early 2026.
Furthermore, the ongoing rollout of cthe ontainer stacking area and
automated truck gate lanes will help to ensure a smoother operational flow in
the Terminal D container yard which, in turn, will further improve vessel
productivity.
Earlier this summer, the Port of Barcelona launched its first Onshore Power
Supply (OPS) system at Hutchison Ports’ BEST container terminal.
