ICTSI Motukea handles first gearless vessel

ICTSI-operated Motukea International Terminal (MIT) at Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea recently made history by handling the country’s first international gearless vessel.

The Indonesian-flagged, 526 TEU boxhsip Meratus Samarinda is a gearless vessel, a ship without cranes, and relies on shore-based equipment at its ports of call to load and unload cargo.

MIT last year took delivery of its second mobile harbor crane as part of the ongoing programme of International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) to beef up berth productivity at the terminal.
