CT's new cranes due next month

The Port of Cape Town is on track to introduce two brand new ship-to-shore cranes at the container terminal by the end of August. The port received the two cranes earlier this year as part of ongoing investment into equipment by port authorities and is currently in the process of erecting them. Haulers and trailers that will back up the two cranes are also expected to be delivered on time – although slightly later than the two cranes. With the introduction of the two new cranes the container terminal will offer eight ship-to-shore cranes with a total of 106 haulers and trailers operating across four berths along a 1.3km quay. This is expected to improve productivity at the port significantly in the coming months.
