"The Port of Kaohsiung has embarked on four new terminal modernizations that will increase electrification, automation and improve cargo-handling efficiencies, according to Ava Hsu, a Port spokeswoman.
During a briefing for AJOT by Port officials on June 14th, the following upgrades to the Port’s infrastructure were emphasized:
- The new Evergreen terminal at Terminal 7 is operational and utilizes an automated system to load and unload vessels as well as electrified rail mounted cranes. The terminal can process 4.5 million TEUs per year.
- The new Yang Ming terminal at Terminal 6 is also operational and has the capacity to handle 3 million TEUs per year. It is supported by electrified rail mounted cranes that facilitate internal cargo moves and reduced emissions, according to Jay Hsing, Container Terminal Business Unit.
- At terminal 5, Wan Hai will share its space with the Korean carrier HMM. The Wan Hai terminal is under construction and will be automated and is expected to process 2 million TEUs per year. Construction is expected to be completed in 2026." See the original story at: AJOT.
