E-RTG Arrival
Trans Misr Terminal (TMT) proudly announces the arrival of the first batch of six state-of-the-art Electric Rubber-Tyred Gantry (E-RTG) cranes, manufactured by Liebherr. This delivery marks a significant milestone in Egypt’s journey toward sustainable and environmentally friendly port operations.
As the first terminal in Egypt to invest in Electric RTGs, TMT is setting a new standard for innovation and sustainability in the country’s logistics and maritime sector. The full fleet of 12 E-RTGs will be operational in 2023, further strengthening TMT’s position as a leader in adopting green technologies.
Why Electric RTGs Matter
Unlike conventional diesel-powered cranes, Electric RTGs are powered by electricity, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption. This investment aligns with TMT’s commitment to minimizing its environmental impact while delivering world-class services to customers.
The introduction of these cranes contributes to:
- Improved Air Quality: Reduced emissions from electric operations mean cleaner air for the surrounding community.
- Enhanced Energy Efficiency: Electric RTGs consume less energy, leading to cost savings and a smaller carbon footprint.
- Quieter Operations: The cranes operate with minimal noise, creating a more pleasant work environment.
TMT’s Vision for a Greener Future
This milestone is part of TMT’s broader sustainability strategy, which includes deploying Electric Forklifts inside its warehouse and exploring cold ironing solutions for vessels during the terminal’s infrastructure development. These efforts underline TMT’s dedication to supporting Egypt’s sustainable development goals and the global push for environmentally responsible logistics.
The arrival of the first batch of Electric RTGs is not just a step forward for TMT but also a leap for the Egyptian maritime industry. By adopting cutting-edge technology, TMT is leading the way in creating a greener and more sustainable future for port operations.
Stay tuned for updates as we prepare to integrate these advanced cranes into our terminal operations. Together, we’re driving innovation and sustainability for a better tomorrow.
