Cavotec’s motorised cable reel technology will be installed at DP World Jebel Ali
ZPMC and TGPC have turned to Cavotec for the cable reels for cranes installed at DP World’s new container terminal at Jebel Ali Port in the UAE.
The engineering group says it has scored three orders for its motorised systems whcih will be installed on the STS and rail-mounted gantry cranes at the port.
ZPMC, the world’s largest port equipment manufacturer and regional design, construction and after sales service crane player, TGPC, recently ordered the equipment which will be used to power the 19 STS and 50 RMG cranes at the new Terminal 3 container handling facility.
Under the Terminal 3 project, DP World is currently developing 1,600m of quay wall and 70 hectares of yard space for the new container terminal within the existing port area. When complete, the facility is expected to handle some four million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) annually. Jebel Ali Port is currently equipped with 22 berths and 79 cranes that cater for the world’s largest container vessels.
“Achieved through close cooperation between Cavotec Middle East and Cavotec China, as well as our long-standing OEM customers, ZPMC and Trans Gulf Port Cranes (TGPC), and DP World, these substantial orders are an example of our proven track record in handling complex international projects,” said Cavotec CEO Ottonel Popesco.
“We are delighted to once again work with our long-term partners ZPMC and TGPC on this project, and we look forward to continuing our cooperation in the future,” added Juergen Strommer, managing director of Cavotec Middle East.
