Hutchison Ports Thailand’s Terminal D received four additional remote controlled super post panamax quay cranes and eight remote controlled rubber tyred gantry cranes, all electrically powered, on 18 December.
This batch of quay cranes will be the largest in Thailand, have an outreach of 24 rows, and be capable of handling boxes stacked up to 10 high above the vessel deck.
With this additional equipment, Terminal D will be operating with 14 super post panamax quay cranes with the final three quay cranes and seven rubber tyred gantry cranes scheduled for delivery in early 2026.
Moreover, the ongoing roll out of container stacking area and automated truck gate lanes are expected to support the smoother operational flow in the Terminal D container yard which, in turn, will further improve vessel productivity.
