Hutchison Ports ECT Rotterdam has acquired three new Sany remote-controlled automatic ship-to-shore cranes.

The ship-to-shore container cranes work fully automatically and are remote controlled. Furthermore, various protection functions ensure that this is done safely, with anti-collision systems monitoring the movements of the cranes. This increases safety and reduces the handling time of each individual container.

Sany key account manager Tobias S. Ling says: “We actually turned the high-level request into a tailor-made complete solution that covered all the aspects required.”

Daniel Zhong, key account technical specialist at Sany, adds: “For such a huge container terminal, the size of the cranes plays a decisive role. With Super Panamax-size technical requirements, the Sany ship-to-shore container cranes fit perfectly into the concept of tasks at the ECT Delta terminal.” Other factors which led to the order include the high performance of the individual components “and the fact that our European headquarters is located rather close to Rotterdam”, he explains.

The ECT Delta terminal is experiencing increased demand due to its direct access to the North Sea, which provides access to the largest ships without having to pay attention to the tides. The terminal also maintains high-frequency connections to virtually all important industrial locations worldwide. Additionally, the ECT Delta terminal is equipped with highly efficient systems and was the first automated terminal in the world.

“With the investment in new, innovative ship-to-shore container cranes, the ECT Delta terminal is paving the way to maintain its leading position also in the future,” according to Sany.
