Upgrade for Timor Port
New equipment has been acquired for the Tibar Bay deep sea port close to Dili, the capital city of East Timor. Timor Port, a subsidiary of Bolloré Ports, recently received two tugs, two STS gantries and four RTG gantry cranes. The delivery was made on a semi-submersible vessel specialised in gantry transportation.
The two new STS gantries will enable the terminal to unload large container ships with increased handling speed. The four RTG gantries, each 30 m high, will handle the loading, unloading and stowing of containers at the terminal. The tugs are designed to perform port towing operations. They assist large ships entering and leaving the port and help them with their docking operations. (sh)
