The Cape Town Container Terminal (CTCT) has taken a bold step in this area and unveiled nine new rubber gangreys (RTGs) as part of the Transnet port (TPT) investment programs.
A major increase for the Cape Town Procurement Center
The newly launched cranes are part of the 28 RTG fleet, with 19 others still assembled. This is the upgrade of remarkable equipment in harmony with Transnet Again for growth strategyDesigned to re -change the organization as a key factor in economic growth and economic competition in South Africa.
Technology that meets world standards
These RTGs are not just a replacement – they reports that they have a leap in technology. Equipped with an anti -wire system and camcorders that offer 3D operational views, cranes promise more accurately to work.
They are built to resist wind speeds up to 90 km / h, which is a significant improvement of the current threshold of 72 km / h. Their hybrid diesel system has three row engines, as well as indicating a change in the environment more aware of the environment.
Beyond Machines: Invest in individuals and processes
Transnet performance drive in CTCT is beyond new machines. Initiatives such as adding a fourth change, according to 24 -hour operation support and a performance -based incentive plan, make a tangible difference. Real -time performance monitoring increases responsibility and operational flow.
Tangible advances are pre -visible
By August 2025, the terminal increased its container volume by 32 % compared to the same period last year, and the total volume of exports increased by 24 %.
Transnet COO SOLLY LETSOALO Group summarized it, “Last year this time we were on barbecue ports and ships. Today we can tell a different story. There are no remaining ships and the performance has improved significantly, not just in Cape Town but at our terminals.”
Driving resistance cooperation
These achievements are not just the result of investment – they reflect the power of cooperation. Transnet confirmed the important role of customers and stakeholders, whose support has been effective in converting challenges to measurable progress.
