Technology Used

The Euromax Terminal in Rotterdam stands as a technological marvel, integrating advanced systems that not only enhance efficiency and capacity but also reflect a strong commitment to environmental sustainability. At the core of the terminal's operations are state-of-the-art container handling technologies that redefine the standards of modern port management.

Automated stacking cranes, equipped with sophisticated control systems, serve as the backbone of the terminal's container storage and retrieval operations. These cranes streamline the handling process by autonomously managing the arrangement and movement of containers within the terminal. The implementation of automation not only increases operational efficiency but also contributes to the optimization of storage space, ensuring a seamless and organized container flow.
