Novoroslesexport Container Terminal Receives ZPMC Hoisting Equipment as part of NCSP's ongoing Investment Program (RTS: NMTP, MICEX: NMTP, LSE: NCSP)
The Container Terminal of Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port (“NCSP”)'s subsidiary Novoroslesexport has received new hoisting equipment, which was manufactured by ZPMC, one of the leading manufacturers of specialized container handling machinery. The port signed the supply contract with ZPMC in June 2006. The total cost of machinery, shipment, assistance with installation and commissioning, and crane maintenance training amounted to approximately USD 12 MM.
The delivery of ZPMC cranes is part of the NCSP’s ongoing USD 700 MM investment program aimed at enhancing the port's transhipment capacity with a focus on its most profitable cargos.
The five new cranes will be used in Novoroslesexport’s Container Terminal and will include two STS container loaders, two RTG wheel-mounted gantry cranes and one RMG track-riding double-cantilever gantry crane.
