SCFT s modernisation project nears completion
South Florida Container Terminal (SFCT) is nearing completion of its three-year modernization project to prepare for future growth.
The project focused on transforming the land into a more sustainable operation with new, electric rubber tire gantry (RTG) cranes and added cargo storage space using a densification model which allows 2.5 times more usability in the container yard than before.
Mark Baker, Director of SFCT said “We’ve designed the terminal to help logistics flow smoother to Florida customers while being quieter, cleaner and safer for our Labor partners and neighboring communities. We can handle more cargo in a smaller footprint while still serving larger ships with our 50’ depth and electric gantry cranes. Our new fleet of rubber tire gantry (RTG) cranes represents the first container terminal in the US with a 100% electric fleet with zero emissions in the container yard.”
