Rotterdam World Gateway welcomes new equipment

Two new quay cranes arrived at Rotterdam World Gateway (RWG) on 23 April and are currently being offloaded, a 10-day operation, with the cranes expected to be operational in the second half of 2020.

The new cranes, the largest of their kind, were built by ZPMC in China, have a lifting height of 56m and are capable of handling container vessels of up to 26 rows wide. Together with the two quay cranes RWG has invested in 25 new automated guided vehicles (AGVs).

Ronald Lugthart, CEO at RWG commented, “The arrival of the cranes and AGVs will allow RWG to further optimise our services and capacity.”

RWG is an international consortium consisting of four global container shipping companies – CMA CGM and its subsidiary, APL, MOL which is part of the Ocean Network Express triumvirate, HMM and terminal operator DP World.
