Cargotec increases its Chinese presence with an RTG order

JPPDC currently operates a two berth facility in Weitou Port in Fujian Province and Cosco Pacific is in phase two of a project to expand the container yard in order to increase terminal throughput: the new RTGs are part of the project.

Container throughput at the terminal is expected to reach 0.4m teu by next year and 0.8m teu upon completion of phase two in 2015.

Cargotec has built up a substantial presence in China in recent years, making a major investment in its Lingang assembly plant near Shanghai. The factory, located close to the Yangshan port development, has delivered a range of equipment to Chinese ports including FLTs, empty handlers, reachstackers, terminal tractors and RTGs.
