Six domestically developed, fully automated double-arm gantry cranes have been delivered to the northern operation area of Xiao Yangshan at Shanghai’s Yangshan Deepwater Port, where they are being installed and commissioned as part of a new smart, automated container terminal. The project, listed among China’s key “14th Five‑Year Plan” infrastructure priorities, is designed for an annual capacity of up to 11.6 million TEU and aims to deepen port digitalization, automation, and integration in the Shanghai International Shipping Center.
According to Chinese business and maritime reports, six fully automated double-arm rail-mounted gantry cranes, designed and manufactured in China, recently arrived at the northern operation zone of Xiao Yangshan within the Yangshan Deepwater Port area in Shanghai. The units are now being installed and tested, with the goal of enabling trial operations at the western section of a new automated quay line of about 840 meters by the end of the year. The added automated handling capacity is expected to lift the terminal’s throughput by roughly 1.5 million TEU annually.
