Hutch goes remote control at Thai terminal with quay cranes and RTGs
HONG KONG's Hutchison Ports Thailand has installed remote control quay cranes and straddle carriers at Laem Chabang Port, 130 kilometres south of Bangkok.
The three cranes, the world biggest with an outreach of 24 rows, are capable of handling the bigger ships afloat.
This will enable the terminal to achieve higher levels of productivity and increase capacity by 3.5 million TEU to six million TEU, said the press release.
The three super postpanamax quay cranes have arrived at Terminal D Laem Chabang Port together with eight electric rubber tyre gantry cranes (RTG).
This makes Hutchison Ports Thailand Terminal D the first Thai terminal operated by remote control technology, said the company press release.
The cranes, from Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industry Co (ZPMC), will play a crucial part of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) project under Thailand 4.0 scheme.
Hutchison Ports is the world's leading port investor, developer and operator with a network of port operations in 52 ports spanning 26 countries throughout Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, the Americas and Australasia.
