The RTGs are capable of stacking one over five high and span seven containers and a truck lane.
The order is in line with a concession agreement signed by terminal operator Tertir, the operator of Liscont Container Terminal in Lisbon, with local partners Cosmos Agencias Maritima and Translei to develop the terminal.
Under the terms of the concession, the consortium is required to construct a new container dock, add 12 ha of patio for the container/multi-purpose terminal, deepen the draught of the berths to 13 m and acquire the cranes in order to handle post-panamax ships.
In 2011, the National Port Authority of Peru approved construction plans for the new container dock. The work is scheduled to be completed this year.
