Two Konecranes BOXHUNTER RTGs to be delivered to Ben Nghe Port in Vietnam
In July a deal was signed for two Konecranes BOXHUNTER RTGs that will be delivered to Ben Nghe Port in Vietnam. The Port studied the BOXHUNTER concept thoroughly and was impressed by its new operating approach. The cranes will be delivered in June 2017.
Ben Nghe Port is a growing container port, centrally located on the Saigon River in Ho Chi Minh City. It serves both domestic and international container traffic, with a commitment to using the most modern and up-to-date lifting equipment. The cranes will be delivered in cooperation with Telin Technology & Infrastructure JSC, a well-known technology and trading company in Vietnam.
Ben Nghe Port’s new BOXHUNTER RTGs will have a lifting height of 1-over-5 and an operational width of 6 containers plus truck lane. They will be electrically powered by the latest cable reel system, and they will be equipped with GPS-based Auto-steering.
The BOXHUNTER RTG is ready for the future. It has a new, modern operating concept where the driver sits comfortably in a cabin down at the truck lane, close to the truck loading and unloading action.
BOXHUNTER is also well-suited for inland logistics and warehousing operations, as well as for inland container terminals, that have ambitious growth plans.
