More investment for Port Said

As the main operator of West Port Said Container Terminal, PSCCHC recently took delivery of more container handling equipment comprising three forklifts (two Doosan 5 tonnes capacity and one Terex 32 tonne capacity) which started operations on March 5, 2013, with one ship-to shore gantry and six RTGs scheduled for delivery by the end of this year.

Recently completed dredging works alongside the container quay have increased the draught from 13.2 m to 14.5 m and the depth from 14 m to 16 m  “and we are ready to start upgrading and developing the quay wall in stages to allow the terminal to accommodate giant container ships approaching from the South (up to 14.6 m draught) and from the North (up to 14 m draught) by the end of the project,” said a company spokesman.
