ICTSI has announced that AGCT has 'taken a big step towards more community-friendly operations by installing white noise reversing alarms on two of its rail-mounted gantry cranes (RMG),' reports Rotterdam's WorldCargo News.
The RMGs were fitted with this technology because of their proximity to residential areas.
White noise reversing alarms emit a softer, more localised sound resembling a gentle hiss rather than the high-pitched beeps of traditional alarms. This directional sound focuses on the immediate area around the crane, reducing noise spill over beyond the terminal.
Additionally, the alarms automatically adjust their volume based on the time of day and surrounding noise levels, ensuring quieter operation at night. This flexibility minimises disturbances for nearby residents while maintaining safety standards in the terminal, said ICTSI.
'The installation of white noise alarms also bolsters safety by providing a continuous, easily locatable sound, enabling workers and pedestrians to identify moving equipment more effectively, even in low-visibility situations. By adopting this innovative technology, AGCT sets a strong example of environmental responsibility,' ICTSI said.
ICTSI notes that the white noise alarms help AGCT reaffirm 'its dedication to balancing operational efficiency and safety with community well-being, fostering a sustainable and respectful relationship with its surrounding neighbourhood.
