Tanger-Med II to be automated
APM Terminals has announced orders for 12 remote-controlled Ship-STS cranes and 32 ARMGs to equip its new 5M TEU/year MedPort Tangier facility now under construction at the Tanger-Med II port complex
The faility is designed to serve the latest ULCS with capacities up to 20,000 TEU. APMT says it will complements its existing Tanger-Med facility, which handled 1.7M TEU in 2015. "The two terminals promise to give a competitive edge to liner operators and global supply chain executives," said the company.
“Our goal is to use proven technology to create high-productivity for our clients on one of the world’s most strategically important trade lanes on the Strait of Gibraltar,” stated APMT MedPort Tangier Managing Director, Dennis Olesen.
Opening in 2019, the terminal will employ both conventional and fully-automated operations and a truck gate system. The STS cranes will be delivered at the end of 2017 by ZPMC, and feature full automation, including a remote crane operator safely located in an office building near the quay, a second trolley, and OCR technology. The 32 ARMGs will be delivered at the end of 2017 by Hans Künz and deployed in 16 container yard blocks, each serviced by two ARMGs.
