APM Terminals ups Mobile, Alabama capacity 35pc, adds 2nd quay crane
MAERSK's standalone port operator APM Terminals is investing in two ship-to-shore cranes at its Mobile facility as it looks to double handling capacity at the US Gulf's deepest port.
The order for the super postpanamax quay cranes is part of a US$40 million investment to increase terminal capacity 35 per cent to 475,000 TEU and enlarge yard space by 20 acres, reported the UK's Port Technology.
APMT has the option to further increase capacity to over 1.3 million TEU to cater for increased traffic expected from Next year's expanded Panama Canal.
The Alabama State Port Authority has begun construction of an Intermodal Container Transfer Facility for the Port of Mobile which will connect the APM Terminals facility by rail to markets in the US Southeast and Midwest.
