Three-year modernisation project for South Florida Container Terminal nears completion

South Florida Container Terminal (SFCT) has begun to close in on the completion of its three-year modernisation project to prepare for future growth.

The project focused on transforming the land into a more sustainable operation with new, electric rubber-tyre gantry (RTG) cranes and added cargo storage space using a densification model which allows 2.5 times more usability in the container yard than before.

Mark Bake, director of SFCT, said: “We’ve designed the terminal to help logistics flow smoother to Florida customers while being quieter, cleaner and safer for our labour partners and neighbouring communities.
