APM Terminals Maasvlakte II Opening Ceremony video
April 24th marked the opening ceremony of APM Terminals Maasvlakte II Rotterdam - a truly historic moment in APM Terminals journey, launching new levels of:
• Sustainability:
The first zero emissions container terminal in the industry.
A model for sustainable ports using wind power from Europe wind farms.
Fleet of vehicles for personnel transport- electric powered.
• Safety:
The first terminal designed to separate man and machine to achieve our safety goals.
The first terminal to have STS cranes operated by a remote operator (located in the office)
• Productivity:
The first fully-automated container terminal in the world.
The Automated Guided Vehicles were first generation to actually lift and stack a container.
The container yard is small by most terminal standards. Ability to stack higher and denser, lowers footprint.
• Better links to inland markets and stronger supply chains:
45% of activity is on inland barges.
Trucker gates: The unmanned truck gates are small in number (6) compared to most large terminals, but throughput per gate is very high thanks to appt system and truckers cannot leave cab.
