“After 44 days of navigation, the first two gantry cranes and 4 yard cranes arrived, all automated and electric, which are part of the port’s container capacity. They complement the first five gantry cranes that were built in 2000. We received the yard cranes two weeks ago and they are already installed in their workplaces.”Rios said.
