Cavotec scores $10.8M in crane and shore power technology orders

Global engineering group Cavotec announced it has won a number of orders for its advanced crane technologies from the world’s leading crane manufacturers, plus orders for its shore power systems. The orders have a combined value of approximately $10.8 million.

"These projects highlight the degree of cooperation Cavotec enjoys with equipment manufacturers and the world’s largest port operators, as a preferred supplier of a variety of innovative, mission-critical systems," said Ottonel Popesco, Cavotec CEO, in the statement.

The group has been awarded a total of five orders by port equipment manufacturer ZPMC. The largest is for cable reels that will supply electrical power to 72 ZPMC Automated Stacking Cranes for use at the Pasir Panjang Terminal at the Port of Singapore.

For the same terminal, Cavotec will provide 28 spreader cable reels for ship-to-shore container cranes. The Pasir Panjang Terminal is Singapore’s newest and most advanced terminal, with the capacity to process the world’s largest container ships. The Port of Singapore is the world’s second busiest port in terms of container handling, reporting 33.55 million TEU movements in 2014.

For the Port of Singapore’s international arm, PSA International, Cavotec will deliver power and spreader cable reels for four ZPMC STS cranes. The cranes are destined for the Port of Genoa, Italy.

"These reels will be the largest ever manufactured by Cavotec Specimas, one of Cavotec’s eight Centres of Excellence located worldwide," Cavotec said.
