ZPMC delivers three more STS cranes to Sri Lanka’s ECT total six out of 12 planned

Manufactured and delivered by ZPMC, the cranes are part of a larger investment totalling US$ 282 million, which includes 12 STS cranes and 40 ARMGs (Automatic Rail-Mounted Gantry cranes). This investment is geared towards the second development stage of ECT, slated for completion by the end of 2025.

“This progress represents a significant milestone in the terminal’s expansion, emphasizing our commitment to maintaining a leading position in global trade facilitation. It ensures our ability to efficiently meet the demands of our customers,” Sri Lanka Ports Authority said.

The first three STS cranes from the series were delivered in February 2024…The development of the second phase of the Eastern Container Terminal commenced in 2022 with China Harbour Engineering Co and Access Engineering PLC carrying out the construction works.

As WorldCargo News reported, ECT was initially to be developed as part of a tripartite deal with India and Japan, which would have seen the terminal operated by India’s Adani Group. But, in late 2021, the Sri Lankan Government announced a new deal for the direct development of ECT by the Sri Lanka Ports Authority.

Phase I of the terminal has been operational since October 2020.
