Rotterdam Shortsea places crane order

Rotterdam, Netherlands

Rotterdam Shortsea Terminals (RST) has ordered two new ship-to-shore cranes and a cantilever rail-mounted gantry (RMG) for its Waal-Eemhaven terminal from Chinese crane producer Jiangsu Rainbow Industrial Equipment.

Arno Storm, CEO of Rotterdam Shortsea Terminals, says he is proud of the company’s continued evolution.

“We are pleased to take this important step in expanding our equipment and capabilities,” Storm adds. “First phase is the commissioning of the RMG by the end of 2026. 

“By the end of 2027 the STS Cranes will be operational making another major leap forward, increasing our terminal capabilities and enhancing our ability to handle larger vessels with even greater efficiency. This project is a key part of preparing RST for the future.”

The purchase is part of a USD18 million investment to build “the harbour of the future”.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams states: “The real work begins with an initial USD18 million investment bringing this maritime port into the 21st century by removing four outdated, out-of-service cranes and replacing them with a new electric crane.”
