APM Terminals Aarhus to trial automated straddle carrier

ZPMC’s automated straddle carrier will be tested at the world’s first container terminal, APM Terminals Aarhus in Denmark.

“We are extending our collaboration around intelligent port technology, which is great. Automation will bring a lot of value and great potential because it enables us to deliver consistent service to our customers and to be more efficient and safe”, commented Dennis Lenthe Olesen, managing director at APM Terminals Nordic.

ZPMC, a Chinese state-owned multinational engineering company and one of the world’s largest manufacturers of cranes and large steel structures, together with APM Terminals Aarhus, aims to test and develop the new automated straddle carrier.

The two companies are also aiming to enable it to work for APM Terminals all over the world.

“We are proud that this state-of-the-art machine has ended up in Aarhus. Right now, we are testing the straddle carrier in a small, enclosed area,” said Dan Iversen, operations deployment lead at APM Terminals Aarhus, who added, “Test results are analysed and evaluated regularly to optimise the technology to fit our operation.”

Dennis Lenthe Olesen concluded, “There is a drive to utilise technology to future-proof our development and to enable us to provide world-class operation efficiency, today and for the future.”
