Terex wins ICTSI order for cranes in Iraq

IRAQ, November 29, 2015

Germany-based Terex Port Solutions (TPS) has received an order for a total of five cranes from a subsidiary of Philippines-based International Container Terminal Services (ICTSI) in Iraq, a report said.

The order comprises two Terex ship-to-shore cranes (STS) and three Terex rubber-tyred gantry cranes (RTG), and also includes comprehensive services for the cranes, added the Iran Business News report.

The new cranes are being manufactured in Xiamen, China, and will be delivered to ICTSI’s Basra Gateway Terminal in the port of Umm Qasr, for commercial operation in the second quarter of 2016, said the report.

As the only deep-water port in Iraq, the port on the Gulf coast is the main transshipment point for trade in the country.

Maurizio Altieri, general manager of the TPS facility in Xiamen, China, said that the new cranes would contribute to the competitiveness of the Iraqi port.

The two all-electric STS cranes are used predominantly for loading and unloading containers on feeder vessels. They are designed as monobox constructions fitted with a self-propelled trolley and offer a lifting capacity up to 41 t under spreader.

The STS cranes are designed for an outreach of 42 m. The hoisting height is 32 m above the quayside and 18 m below. The three RTG are used for managing the container stackyard.

They offer a maximum lifting capacity of 41 tonnes under spreader and can stack standard containers 1-over-5 with a hoisting height of 18.1 m. Thanks to a span of 23.5 m they can cover six rows of containers and a lane for road or terminal trucks.
