APM Terminals CEO Vincent Clerc confirmed plans to implement automation at NTB Bremerhaven to lower the terminal’s breakeven, as part of the €1bn NTB/Eurogate modernisation targeting a capacity increase from 3 to 4M TEU annually. New cranes and yard equipment form the core of the equipment replacement programme, targeting zero-GHG operations.
Why it matters for P&M: APM Terminals is a key incumbent customer and Bremerhaven is Europe’s largest container port. The €1bn equipment modernisation puts substantial crane electrification scope on the table in the medium term — worth engaging on the equipment specification now, ahead of formal tendering.
