CMSA continues expansion of RTG fleet

Contecon Manzanillo (CMSA) took delivery of two new ZPMC rubber tired gantries (RTG) last March, adding to the 23 similar units already in service at the terminal.  With an extension of up to eight containers wide and five containers high, the new equipment improves container movement across the yard and increases the terminal’s overall efficiency.  Another two units are scheduled to arrive in May.  Earlier in January, CMSA had taken delivery of two RTGs along with 15 terminal tractors.  Photo shows one of the new RTGs being offloaded from the heavy lift vessel Zhen Hua.
