ZPMC begins equipment delivery for Singapore super port

Chinese manufacturer ZPMC is shipping the first batch of port machinery in advance to support the construction of a super port in Singapore.

Zhenhua No. 25, loaded with six automatic rail mounted gantry (RMG) cranes for Singapore PSA, left the ZPMC Changxing Base for the Tuas Terminal of Singapore on 10 July. It is the first batch of equipment that ZPMC manufactured for the terminal.

The project of 20 dual-trolley ship to shore (STS) cranes and 56 automatic RMGs commenced on 14 March 2019 and is beng manufactured and delivered in 10 different batches. The ZPMC team shipped six RMGs in advance this time, despite the impact of COVID-19 and plum rains, making a solid foundation for the automatic debugging and delivery on the site.

The Project on Tuas Terminal of Singapore is on the super port planned by the government of Singapore, of which the first part of the port area is planned to be put into operation in 2021 and the whole terminal will be completed in 2040 with an annual container handling capacity of 65 million TEU.

ZPMC has provided more than 300 pieces of the port machinery equipment since entering the local market in 1994.
