Additional quay cranes for Aden

The two new 65 tons capacity Liebherr Super post-Panamax quay cranes have a reach of 22 containers across allowing ACT “to receive and service large container ships in the most efficient way.”

Capt. Faisal Al Qahtani, senior VP and managing director, DP World Middle East, said: “We have proven experience in handling large vessels, and with the new cranes that have been mobilised at the terminal we have boosted efficiency even further.”

Earlier this year the 48ha terminal received and serviced the 8,441 teu MSC Tomoko, the largest ever container vessel to call at the facility, located in Yemen’s premier port city.
