US terminal operator Eagle Marine Services (EMS) will invest US$70 million on equipment and technology for pier 300 terminal at the port of Los Angeles.
The operator has already ordered four new ZPMC super postpanamax cranes, six Mitsui hybrid rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) cranes and 18 Taylor container handlers for the facility.
EMS will also implement Navis'N4 terminal operating system, which will be integrated with the Mi-Jack real-time locating system and ABB's crane and gate optical character recognition (OCR) systems, reported London's Container Management magazine.
EMS and P5 infrastructure CEO Sean Pierce said: "Our first major goal is to be number one in volume and quality of service in the San Pedro Bay port complex and we want to reach that position faster than any company has done before."
The terminal's annual throughput is expected to grow to two million TEU following this investment, while truck turn times and vessel productivity are both expected to improve. Truck turn times were reduced by 30 per cent in April.
Said Mr Pierce: "The overall velocity of the terminal in all areas has significantly increased since completing the major components of the first phase of our value creation strategy and these efficiencies trends will continue."
There is also the ability of expanding into 40 acres of spare land, with a possible 300-metre of extra berth and the option to double rail capacity.
