New handling equipment at Port Vostochny

Vostochnaya Stevedoring Company (VSC) has put into operation two new reach stackers, which the terminal purchased as part of the operating facilities upgrade programme.

The new reach stackers that will operate at Port Vostochny in Russia have a lifting capacity of 45 tonnes and will be used to handle containers on railway platforms, as well as in yard operations. The technical specifications of the vehicles make it possible to stack containers up to five tiers high, according to a statement.

The equipment will complement seven reach stackers already in operation at VSC.

“Expanding the handling equipment fleet allows the terminal to operate at higher speeds both at the railway front and at the yard and minimises downtime due to the need for repair work,” noted Ilya Dolgiy, managing director of VSC.

Vostochnaya Stevedoring Company, part of the leading Russian port operator Global Ports Group, is one of the largest container terminals in the Far East of Russia with an annual throughput capacity of 700,000 TEU.
