New Cranes to Boost Operations at Hutchinson Ports Thailand

One of Thailand’s largest port operators, Hutchinson Ports is boosting operations at its ‘Terminal D’ after receiving four remote controlled super post panamax quay cranes and eight remote controlled rubber tyred gantry cranes. 

Both types of cranes are fully electric, ensuring that operations at Terminal D are as low-carbon as possible. 

The batch of cranes represents the largest in Thailand, with the cranes having an outreach of 24 rows and the ability to handle containers that are stacked up to 10 high above the vessel deck.

The new cranes are expected to be delivered in early 2026. 

At present, Hutchinson Ports Thailand operates five terminals at Laem Chabang Port, connecting with numerous river and ocean-going shipping lines that call at their facilities each day. 

The company’s operations at Laem Chabang Port represent one of Hutchinson’s many interests in the region. Hutchinson also has port operations in Myanmar, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
