Ready for service are three Rail Mounted Quay Cranes (RMQCs), nine Electric Rubber Tyred Gantry Cranes (eRTGs) and one electric reach stacker, which form part of a comprehensive equipment plan designed to optimise terminal operations.

Scheduled for completion by August 2024, the RMQCs with a reach of 56 meters are equipped to handle a safe working load of 65 metric tonnes. The deployment of electrical equipment will drastically cut carbon footprint. By employing nine Electric Rubber Tyred Gantry Cranes (eRTGs) and one electric reach stacker, the terminal achieves an annual reduction of 2,570 tonnes of CO2 emissions as compared to diesel usage.
