Summary

To improve cargo processing, increase efficiency, and lower emissions, DP World has installed 17 Automated Electric Rubber-Tyred Gantry (AeRTG) cranes at the South Container Terminal located in Jeddah port. This initiative is a component of an $800 million renovation project, which also involves infrastructure improvements and a goal to raise the yearly handling capacity to 5 million TEUs from 3.9 million. Each of these cranes cuts yearly CO₂ emissions by about 64% when measured against standard diesel machinery. The terminal currently operates 77 RTG cranes, with 50 being automated and electric, which decreases the facility's dependence on diesel-run equipment.
