Siemens technology for Africa's first automated container terminal

Siemens will also supply electrical systems used in 12 remote-controlled double trolley ship-to-shore cranes (STS). This order was placed by the Chinese Zhenhua Port Machinery Company (ZPMC), one of the world’s biggest crane builders. The terminal, to be opened in 2019, will be the world’s first transshipment hub featuring an end loading yard concept.

“Use of simulation and digital twins of the cranes in the yard blocks allow for flexibility, speed and work-through scenarios,” explains Christian Koegl, Vice President of Siemens Cranes. “Advanced block management together with various automation modules and integrated safety, e.g. for remote control and collision prevention, will lead to safe and productive operations. “These unique features helped Siemens to be chosen as the preferred electrical and automation partner for this flagship terminal”, continues Koegl.
