Port of Haiphong Joint Stock Company (CHP), a subsidiary of Vietnam Maritime Corporation (VIMC), ordered six ship-to-shore gantry cranes (Mitsui-Paceco Portainer) and 24 rubber tyred gantry cranes (Mitsui-Paceco Transtainer) from MITSUI E&S Co. Ltd.
In particular, CHP is currently constructing the container terminal in the Lach Huyen area in Hai Phong City, which is located in the northern part of Vietnam.
Earlier, MITSUI E&S had delivered Mitsui-Paceco Portainer and Mitsui-Paceco Transtainer to CHP in 2001 and 2007, respectively, as part of the Japanese government’s Official Development Assistance (ODA).
The Mitsui-Paceco Portainer cranes to be delivered have a 65-meter outreach and are capable of handling large container vessels. This type of crane will be one of the largest cranes for CHP and in the Hai Phong area.
Together with the environmentally friendly electrified Mitsui-Paceco Transtainer, it is expected to contribute to CHP’s increased cargo handling capacity.
