PIRAEUS Container Terminal (PCT) in Greece, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cosco Pacific, is to invest EUR20 million (US$21.66 million) in an order for an additional 15 electric rubber-tyred gantry cranes from Kalmar, part of Cargotec. The cranes will be delivered in 2016 and 2017.
Kalmar's previous deliveries to the terminal consisted of 12 all-electric RTGs in 2013 and nine all-electric RTGs in 2015.
"The zero-emission cranes, which are 9+1 wide and 1-over-6 high, will help us to achieve our goal of increasing capacity while meeting all the latest environmental demands," said deputy general manager of PCT, Li Jianchun.
"These latest Kalmar E-One2 Zero Emission RTGs will be working in the Pier III expansion area, helping us to enhance capacity in the yard. The RTGs apply new technologies that enhance productivity, reliability and flexibility."
The cranes will be manufactured in China at Rainbow-Cargotec Industries like the previously delivered cranes.
