This summer, ECT will commission the first phase of the Delta Barge Feeder Terminal. There, on 400 metres of quayside, three cranes will be able to handle around 300,000 containers.
The cranes have a total reach of 135 metres, 61 metres of which between the legs. This space is also used as a buffer between the stack and the ships. In the autumn, the remaining 440 metres of quay will be added, thereby increasing the number of berths to six or seven. Later, the number of cranes will be boosted to seven and it will be possible to use automated vehicles (AGVs). Initially, trailers carrying 10 TEU at a time (MTVs) will be used for transport in and out.
