ICTSI receives Papua New Guinea’s first STS cranes

South Pacific International Container Terminal (SPICT), part of International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) at the Port of Lae, has received a pair of new ship-to-shore (STS) cranes, the largest port equipment in Papua New Guinea today.

Manufactured by Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industry (ZPMC) and with a reach of up to 17 rows across, the new post-Panamax cranes can service vessels of up to 6,000 teu.

Robert Maxwell, ICTSI South Pacific CEO, said that the cranes would contribute to SPICT’s market leader positioning in the national and international logistics chain.
