On May 11, Tan Cang Port Services Joint Stock Company (a member of Tan Cang Saigon Corporation) took delivery of four Hybrid Rubber-Tyred Gantry Crane (RTG Hybrid) systems for operation at Tan Cang Cat Lai Port.
The crane system was supported in production and installation by Tan Cang Technical Services under the quality supervision of Mitsui E&S Group (Japan).
With its tall steel frame design and flexible rubber tire mobility, this type of crane is especially suitable for ports with limited space but high performance requirements. A notable feature is the combination of renewable energy storage batteries and small-capacity diesel engines, helping to save up to 60-64% of fuel and significantly reduce COâ‚‚ emissions.
The four RTG Hybrid systems were manufactured in Vietnam by Huynh Thy Company, under the quality supervision of Mitsui E&S Group, a leading manufacturer of container handling equipment in Japan. The manufacturing process also involved the participation of domestic enterprises such as Lilama 18, Vinalift, and especially Tan Cang Technical Services Company (TCTS).
As the main unit of Tan Cang Saigon Corporation in the field of technical services, TCTS has played a pivotal role in the assembly, construction supervision, and trial operation of the RTG Hybrid cranes. The company’s engineers not only ensured the highest technical standards during the installation process but also directly performed safety inspections, operational tests, and equipment optimization to ensure immediate operational readiness upon handover. This testifies to TCTS’s technological prowess and pioneering spirit in the “Green Port” development strategy pursued by Tan Cang Saigon Corporation.
Speaking at the handover ceremony, Major Pham Viet Hung, Director of Tan Cang Technical Services Company, affirmed that the installation and operation of the four RTG Hybrid cranes at Cat Lai Port marks a significant step forward in the journey towards realizing the green port goal, reducing emissions, and enhancing operational efficiency. He expressed pride in the company’s contribution to this success through the relentless efforts of its engineers and technicians.
In addition to installation, TCTS actively cooperates with Mitsui E&S and other important partners to transfer technology, improve staff skills, and promote equipment localization to reduce production costs and optimize operations.
According to businesses in the industry, most Vietnamese seaports still use old-generation diesel equipment, which consumes a lot of fuel and emits large amounts of pollutants. The renewal of equipment towards energy saving and emission reduction, as exemplified by the RTG Hybrid cranes, not only improves operational efficiency but also affirms the enterprise’s pioneering position in the trend of sustainable and environmentally friendly development. This contributes to the advancement of Vietnamese seaports towards regional and global standards.
