The new quay cranes will expand the Fujairah Terminals’ cargo-handling capacity to an additional 500,000 twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU).

The cranes will offer an improved propulsion speed during container transfer between ship and quayside.

It will not only boost cranes’ productivity and overall safety but also accelerate the ship turnaround.

Fujairah Terminals sent two United Arab Emirates (UAE) national graduates to China to participate in a technical training programme at ZPMC’s facility so that the cranes can be operated with maximum efficiency.
