RSGT Bangladesh to invest $30 m in advanced STS cranes
News Desk
RSGT Bangladesh, the country’s first privately owned container terminal, has announced an additional investment of approximately $30 million to upgrade its terminal infrastructure with four state-of-the-art Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes.
The new STS cranes, procured from SANY Marine Heavy Industry, are equipped with cutting-edge technology to efficiently handle larger vessels at the Port of Chittagong. This follows the company’s recent $26 million acquisition of 14 Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) cranes, said a press release.
Scheduled for deployment in early 2026, the upgraded equipment is expected to increase RSGT Bangladesh’s annual container handling capacity from 250,000 TEUs to 600,000 TEUs. The expansion aims to improve operational efficiency and reduce logistics costs, bolstering the country’s trade infrastructure.
RSGT Bangladesh CEO Erwin Haaze said, “Following the recent acquisition of 14 RTGs, the investment in these new STS cranes marks another important step in our ongoing efforts to enhance terminal operations in Bangladesh.”
He added that the upgrades will streamline operations and contribute to a more cost-effective supply chain for the country's trade.
