Philippines' Port Operator Ictsi Buys More Lifting Equipment

MANILA, May 5 Asia Pulse - Philippines' port operator International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) recently acquired 10 Terberg prime movers and two new Stinis auto twist spreaders for its flagship, Manila International Container Terminal (MICT).

The new Terberg prime mover YT 80 is manufactured by Sime Darby Industries while the new Stinis auto spreader is manufactured by SSEA, which specializes in spreaders and lifting equipment.

The auto twist spreader is a modified version of the existing semi-automatic spreader, and is unique with its gravity lever locking principle.

The Stinis auto spreader is designed to be used with conventional ship and harbor cranes, and is ideal for swivel energized cranes.

Already in operation, the new equipment is helping ICTSI respond to the increasing volume at the MICT.

ICTSI is a leading developer of international ports and terminals with a global port network spanning 11 countries in four continents.

Headquartered in the Philippines, ICTSI is on its 20th year of operation, and continues to pursue container terminal opportunities around the world.
