South Africa – Tuesday, December 12, 2023
Transnet’s Cape Town Container Terminal (CTCT) has received a delivery of seven pre-used rubber-tyred gantry cranes (RTGs) .
The acquisition of the RTGs is part of the State-owned entity’s turnaround plan, whose key priorities include equipment availability, in order to support operational efficiencies .
Western Cape Terminals Managing Executive, Andiswa Dlanga, said: “The acquisition of additional RTGs in our terminal will go a long way in offering a reliable service to our customers, a much-needed boost for the growth of the Western Cape and South Africa’s economy .
“As a business, we are committed to deliver on our promise to customers and industry, thus equipment availability and reliability are at the core of what we do .
These additional machines will enable us to improve operational performance and turn-around vessels on time” .
In a statement, Transnet Port Terminals [TPT] explained that the new cranes will bring the number of TRGs operating at the CTCT to 27 – a timely boost as ahead of the peak of the deciduous season which is the terminal’s busiest time .
“Out of the 20 RTGs, seven of them were recently fitted with new engines and three with generators .
CTCT is currently completing maintenance repairs on two additional RTGs, which will bring the total number to 29 .
Over the next few days, the engineering team will spend time commissioning all the seven RTGs to ensure readiness before they are officially handed over to operations .
Concurrently, the operations team will roll out training to operators who will be working on the additional RTG machines .
“The acquisition of RTGs is a display of TPT’s commitment to the industry and stakeholders as more reliable equipment directly leads to improved productivity while also ensuring seamless vessel movement within the port,” the statement read .
