by Shrutee K/DNS
Bharat Mumbai Container Terminals Private Limited
("BMCT"), a subsidiary of PSA International Pte Ltd, has received three new Super Post
Panamax ship-to-shore quay cranes on 11th April 2018, bringing the
total number of quay cranes at BMCT to nine currently. The latest cranes were manufactured by Doosan Heavy Industries and are the same specifications
as BMCT’s six other quay cranes. All
are twin-lift capable with a
capacity of 65 tonnes under the spreader, capable of handling mega container
vessels up to 22 rows across. More equipment deliveries are scheduled for 2018 and
2019, including three more quay cranes.
Mr.
Sivakumar K, General Manager of BMCT, said, “After less than
three months of operations, BMCT is achieving productivity
levels in excess of 100 moves per hour for mainline vessels. We are handling
more vessels and volumes with each month and increasing the growth rate at Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT). The additional equipment
will allow us to continue on our trajectory of growth in volumes and service
levels, as well as stimulating more mega-vessel calls to Nhava Sheva.”
In addition to the
yard and shore facilities, BMCT’s rail facilities will be the largest in a
container terminal in India when BMCT’s Phase 2 is completed. It will include the
only on-dock Dedicated Freight Corridor-compliant facility in JNPT, capable of handling 1.5-kilometre long, 360 Twenty-foot
Equivalent Unit (“TEU”) container trains. As PSA steps into its 20th
year of port investments in India, BMCT looks forward to
continuing PSA’s commitment in developing its facility to serve the trade and
enhance the livelihoods of the local communities.
