These new cranes will be installed in East Quay 5 and West Quay 7. The port already has two such cranes, operating in West Quay-1, 2 and 3 and 3 in East Quay 8 and 9. The ports has already installed two at West Quay-6 that are expected to be commissioned shortly. The ultra-modern cranes are built with optimized undercarriage concept to have in-house design control system. The port has 15 electric wharf cranes with capacity ranging from 10 to 20 tonne.
