Felixstowe installs Vahle eRTG system
The United Kingdom’s Port of Felixstowe, which is operated by Hutchison Port Holdings, has successfully installed an eRTG system designed by mobile power and data transmission specialist Vahle.
The company has converted two out of four RTGs with automated telescopic arms and installed a pair of 220 m-long lanes with conductor rails. The second pair of cranes are due to be converted in the near future.
