Stack expansion doubles capacity at Global Terminal

Global Terminal in New Jersey, USA, has announced that the latest of ten stacks of additional capacity have been completed on time, after the terminal recently took delivery of the last five of 20 RMGs.

The stack expansion will more than double the capacity of the terminal to just over one million lifts annually and is expected to be fully operational by the end of this summer.

After more than four years of planning and construction the expanded semi-automated terminal is now open. Last May saw the completion of a 274 m (900 ft) berth extension, meaning the terminal can service the latest Suezmax vessels.
