Tincan Island Container Terminal Limited (TICT) has ordered two sixth-generation Konecranes Gottwald eco-efficient mobile harbor cranes.
The new equipment, scheduled for delivery in June 2022, will improve TICT’s operational efficiency and support the development of its container traffic.
The newly acquired cranes have a reach of 54 m and a capacity of 150 tons.
They rely on their high lifting capacity to optimize their performance and also have a customized support base adapted to local conditions, as well as a tower crane extension to reach containers positioned at height.
Since 2006, TICT has made significant investments to modernize its container terminal and is now involved in other projects, including the modernization of its barge service to reduce urban congestion.
TICT is also committed to intensifying its environmental efforts based on the eight fundamental pillars of the Green Terminal label.
This approach, approved by Bureau Veritas, was launched in 2021 by Bolloré Ports and covers all environmental issues.
“This new acquisition is part of an overall project to strengthen the competitiveness of the port of Lagos. The two mobile cranes that will equip the container terminal will enable an increase in the volumes handled, in order to meet the requirements of a constantly growing business and improve our productivity. At the same time, we are working on the development of our barge activities to promote a more sustainable logistics solution for our customers, in line with our CSR strategy,” said Etienne Rocher, TICT’s Managing Director.
Tincan Island Container Terminal (TICT) is a consortium formed by Bolloré Ports and a Chinese partnership, consisting of China Merchants Holding International (CMHI) and China Africa Development Fund (CADF).
For more than 15 years, TICT has made numerous investments in infrastructure works and equipment, and employs a workforce of nearly 600, with the objective of making Tincan the most efficient terminal in the economic capital of Nigeria, with direct connections to the main highways of the megalopolis and its various industrial zones.
