Rijeka Gateway becomes Adriatic’s first box terminal with remote-controlled cranes

Rijeka Gateway, the largest private infrastructure project in Croatia over the last decade, will be the Adriatic region’s first port to use remote-controlled cranes and electric cargo handling equipment administered from a central control centre.

Machine operators will control and monitor the equipment from a central room via large screens and instrument panels. In addition to comfort and continuous productivity, this is expected to contribute to the protection of the operator’s health.

“Rijeka Gateway, a modern, state-of-the-art gateway terminal, will be operated with remote-controlled electrical container handling equipment, in line with APM Terminals’ ambitious decarbonisation roadmap and Terminal of the Future concept,” stated Koen Benders, CEO of Rijeka Gateway.

Koen Benders added, “In the first phase of development this will include around 4 Ship-to-Shore cranes (STSs), 15 Rubber-Tyred-Gantry cranes (RTGs), 2 Rail-Mounted-Gantry cranes (RMGs) in the rail yard and 30 Terminal Tractors.”
