Santos Brasil receives 10 electric cranes as it expands capacity
Santos Brasil, one of the largest terminal operators at the Port of Santos, has received two new quay cranes and eight electric rubber-tyred gantry (E-RTG) cranes, as it looks to decarbonise operations.
The company, which is targeting carbon neutrality by 2040, will invest R$2.6bn (US$500m) by 2031 in its terminal Tecon Santos to increase annual capacity from 2.4m teu at present to 3m teu.
