SINGAPORE :New automated cranes and vehicles are on trial at the Pasir Panjang Terminal and can boost productivity by up to 25 per cent, potentially bolstering Singapore’s status as a port hub.
Port and terminal operator, PSA Singapore, introduced details of the automated cranes to Minister for Transport Khaw Boon Wan and the media during a briefing at Pasir Panjang Terminal Building 3 on Monday (July 23).
Under the new Automated Quay Crane system, part of the process of moving containers, from a vessel to a prime mover for example, can be done automatically.
