Tanjung Pelepas receives four more quay cranes

The Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) has welcomed the arrival of four new ship-to-shore (STS) quay cranes as it looks to optimise services and capacity, catering to the largest vessels in the world.

Purchasing these super post-Panamax cranes forms part of the Malaysian hub’s asset management strategy to improve terminal efficiency by increasing container handling capacity, capability and reliability, whilst meeting its safety standards.

The cranes have a lifting capacity of 65 tonnes, are 55.5 m high, weigh 1,900 tonnes and are capable of handling containers over 24-rows across ultra-large container vessels (ULCVs).
