Under the escort of technicians throughout the process, on June 6, an intelligent remote control bridge crane with a height of more than 75 meters and a weight of nearly 1,300 tons was slowly moved out of the transport ship and landed smoothly at Haitian Wharf of Xiamen Port. This is the first "original factory" intelligent bridge crane newly introduced by Haitian Wharf - the intelligent bridge cranes that have been put into production before are all upgraded from traditional equipment.
The "Haitian 10" intelligent bridge crane newly listed this time is a new generation of intelligent bridge crane customized by Sany Marine Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. entrusted by Haitian Wharf. It has a forward reach of 55 meters and a rated lifting capacity of 65 tons. The operation of docking the largest ships. The whole machine is equipped with an advanced remote control system, and a series of intelligent sensors are installed, and the degree of intelligence has reached the industry-leading level.
After experiencing a shower, the technicians raced against time to work on the tide, and under the traction of the winch, the "Haitian 10" was successfully towed to the shore at 1:00 p.m. that day. However, this "big guy" was not in complete final form when he first came ashore.
"Because the transport ship passes through the Haicang Bridge when entering the port, the 'clear height' of the bridge crane is much higher than the navigational clearance height under the bridge. It must be properly 'split' and lowered automatically to ensure the safety of navigation." Xiamen Container Terminal Guo Yanxi, Assistant Manager of the Group's Technical Management Department, introduced that when designing the bridge crane, it was considered that the upper front and rear girders were lowered to the supporting tooling of the connecting beam for transportation. The lifting device lifts up the part of the assembly and connects it with the door leg to complete the assembly.
It is reported that after the equipment is installed, it will take about 50 days to complete the commissioning and then put into busy production operations. Wang Yongsheng, general manager of Xiamen Container Terminal Group Haitian Branch, said that Haitian Terminal serves as an important node for Xiamen Port to serve near ocean routes such as RCEP and build a core port area of "Silk Road Shipping". After the new bridge crane is in place, the port's services will be further improved energy level.
