Reel orders span Europe and Asia
Two big, developing ports have ordered electrical power and spreader cable reels for ship to shore container cranes from Cavotec.
The first of the two new orders is for ZPMC, the world’s largest port equipment manufacturer, for power and spreader reels for 14 STS cranes for the Rotterdam World Gateway (RWG) terminal in The Netherlands. RWG is a major port development that will offer a 1,150m deepsea quay and annual handling capacity of some 2.35 million teu. The terminal is scheduled to enter service in the second half of 2014.
The second order is for Korean OEM Hyundai Samho for power and spreader reels for six STS container cranes at the Northport Terminal in Malaysia. This project concludes a strong series of orders won by Cavotec for ports in Malaysia, with the group supplying cable reels and related equipment for more than 30 port cranes from OEMs including ZPMC, Hyundai, Mitsui and TCM.
These orders follow another, recent announcement that the group is to supply similar equipment to the Port of Colombo in Sri Lanka.
