Huisman has signed a second contract with Hutchison Ports ECT Rotterdam (ECT) for the delivery of 12 additional Automated Stacking Cranes (ASCs), following the earlier delivery of a series of six. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Of the initial series, three cranes are already operational, while the remaining three are in the commissioning and testing phase and are expected to enter operation this month.<\/p>\n

The Huisman ASCs are designed to support a fully automated process for container handling and buffering, ensuring reliable, around\u2011the\u2011clock operations. Their advanced positioning systems, combined with a stiff crane structure and optimised reeving system, deliver high positioning accuracy for precise and reliable container stacking. The cranes will be integrated with the Terminal Operating System (TOS), enabling continuous 24\/7 automated operation. <\/p>\n

For this order as well, Huisman will strategically divide production across its European facilities. Welding and pre\u2011assembly will take place in the Czech Republic, while final assembly will be completed at the Huisman facility in Schiedam, the Netherlands. Commissioning and testing will be carried out at the ECT Delta Terminal on the Maasvlakte in the Port of Rotterdam. The proximity of Huisman\u2019s facilities to the terminal offers both logistical efficiencies and sustainability advantages.<\/p>\n

Mike van Wingerden, Business Line Manager Port Equipment at Huisman: \u201cECT\u2019s decision to award Huisman a second series of ASCs underscores the strong trust built through our close cooperation over the past year. ECT\u2019s high standards for reliability and performance align seamlessly with our own, and we look forward to delivering another series of cranes that fully meets those expectations.\u201d<\/p>\n
