Rio Brasil Terminal (RBT), International Container Terminal Services Inc.’s operation in the Port of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, has taken delivery of two new quay cranes as part of its ongoing expansion and modernization program. The acquisition is expected to improve the terminal’s vessel handling capability and overall efficiency across its berths.
The new cranes are designed to handle larger vessels with 400 meters in length overall and carrying up to 20,000 twenty-foot equivalent units, supporting improved berth utilization and faster turnaround times.
“These new assets will contribute to increased operational efficiency and further enhance the quality of service we provide to our customers. They represent an important development in our ongoing expansion and modernization program, which is targeted for completion in 2029,” said Roberto Lopes, RBT chief executive officer.
The latest acquisition increases RBT’s total number of quay cranes to six.
