Global Ports has acquired 12 units of port handling equipment for its Baltic terminals. The holding said in its statement that the investment aims to improve operational efficiency across its terminal network and contribute to sustainability targets.
Petrolesport received a new superheavy 45-ton capacity reach stacker made by Sany and equipped with outriggers. The outriggers allow it to stack containers over a railway track. First Container Terminal received 5 Shacman port tractors, and Ust-Luga Container Terminal got 4 such units. These tractors can move trailers up to 90 tons heavy.
For Moby Dik in Kronshtadt, two electric-driven 3.5-ton capacity forklift trucks were acquired. These forklifts can operate for 8 hours without recharging and take 90 minutes to fully recharge. Electric equipment investment is part of the carbon footprint reduction strategy at Russia's Baltic ports. Global Ports pursues a strong localisation and cost-optimisation trend tilted toward Chinese equipment producers. The holding, part of Delo Group, is a leader in Russia's container handling market.
