The Minister of Transport Barbara Creecy says the new ship-to-shore crane at the Port Elizabeth container terminal will enhance operational efficiency and competitiveness in an increasingly interconnected global economy.

Creecy was speaking during the launch of the crane, which is part of a R3 billion fleet renewal programme investment, to boost equipment availability and operational effectiveness at the country’s container terminals.

The cranes can swiftly and accurately transfer containers from ship to shore and vice versa. The speed and precision of modern cranes minimise the time ships spend docked at the port, allowing for faster turnaround times and increasing the overall throughput of the port.

One of the main environmental benefits of using these type of cranes, is the reduction in emissions.
