Rotterdam's RBC terminal gets new jetty, redeveloped storage
yard
CONSTRUCTION has started on a new jetty at
Rotterdam's RBC Container Terminal which will have an electric crane able to
lift 30 tons from 30 metres away.
The terminal plans to have the
capability to load and unload both laden and empty containers by January
2016.
The current yard at the terminal, which mostly stores
empties, is being fitted to handle laden boxes, reported American
Shipper.
Said a port authority statement: "The modifications to
the yard are being implemented in phases and the first phase has already been
completed successfully."
