Suez Canal Terminal Expansion Moves Forward with New Equipment

Suez canal Terminal Expansion Moves Forward with new Equipment

The suez Canal container Terminal (SCCT) made progress in its expansion project with the arrival of the vessel Zhenhua 35 in November. This ship delivered essential equipment for the terminal’s growth, including four Super Post-Panamax ZPMC Quay Cranes. These cranes have a 72-meter boom outreach and can handle twin 65-tonne containers as well as heavy loads of up to 100 tonnes.

The shipment also included six electric rubber-tyred gantry (eRTG) cranes. These cranes feature advanced automation and remote-control capabilities, ensuring efficiency and modernized operations.

SCCT CEO Keld Mosgaard Christensen emphasized that these new cranes are more than just technological tools—they represent a commitment to improving services, addressing industry demands, and investing in the future.

The expansion project is a significant investment in the local and regional economies, as well as the terminal’s people, customers, and communities.
