Port Pipavav, the West coast port in which APM Terminals belonging to Copenhagen-based A P Moller Group holds the controlling stake, has received three post-Panamax quay cranes and 10 RTGs (rubber-tyred gantries) from ZPMC, China. The new quay cranes, according to port sources, are among the biggest such cranes deployed in any port in India. Along with the new quay cranes, the port has also received 10 new Eco-RTGs. Port Pipavav thus becomes the first port in India and sec ond in Asia to receive Eco-RTGs, claim the sources. The new quay cranes will operate on the 385-metre long new container berth and will be put into commercial operation in March 2008. Port Pipavav offers direct weekly sailings to Europe, US East Coast, Red Sea, China and Far East and has thus emerged as an important gateway to container traffic on the West coast.
