DP World London Gateway increases rail capacity by 50% with two new RMGs

DP World London Gateway has welcomed two new rail-mounted gantry (RMG) cranes for its rail terminal, which will increase rail capacity at the logistics hub by 50%, that will go into operation in mid-August. 

The £12m (US$15.2m) RMGs, which were delivered by ZPMC, weigh approximately 480 tonnes with a lifting capacity of 41 tonnes and are equipped with the latest control system and software, which will significantly enhance operational efficiency and safety at the terminal. 

The arrival precedes the launch of London Gateway’s £350m (US$444m) new fourth berth later this year, which will be the first all-electric berth at a port in the world, and the cranes will operate and handle cargo from the berth when it is opened.
