Qatar attracts demand for $4b sukuk

12/07/2012 07:58 AST

DP World Sokhna, the Red Sea commercial gateway to Egypt’s capital Cairo, has received two new STS (ship-to-shore) gantry cranes in a further boost to productivity at the container facility operated by global marine terminal operator DP World.

The two cranes, manufactured by ZPMC of China, were brought to port by the vessel Zhen-Hua 18 and safely off-loaded in a meticulously planned exercise executed by DP World Sokhna management and engineers.

The Super Post Panamax quay cranes with a capacity of 65 tonnes each and a reach of 24 rows of containers will join the two existing gantry cranes to increase productivity at the port, which connects Cairo to the Europe-Asia sea trade route. Doubling the number of giant gantry cranes DP World Sokhna operates will enable the facility to serve some of the largest vessels, allowing importers and exporters to make the most of the resulting economies of scale.
