 Company: Barcelona Port Authority, Terminal Catalunya S.A (TERCAT)
Type: medium voltage rubber insulated and sheathed drum reeling cables
Speed: 300m/m
Konecranes has awarded cable manufacturer and supplier Tratos the contract to supply medium voltage rubber insulated and sheathed drum reeling cables for its Automated Stacking Cranes (ASC), to be used at the new Muelle Prat container terminal in Spain.
Following the takeover of the Muelle Prat container terminal from the Barcelona Port Authority, Terminal Catalunya S.A (TERCAT) - a member of the Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH) Group – has started construction of a new 1,000-metre-long quay featuring 18 container stacking blocks with 36 one-over-five ASCs.
The ASCs will be supplied by KoneCranes with Tratosflex cable, which has been specifically designed for high speed reeling. Tratosflex features a unique internal cable design, with the structure tightened against the internal relative movement. This prevents the cable from twisting and leading to possible breakage – extremely dangerous when reeling at speeds up to 300m/m. As a result of this sophisticated, reliable design, Konecranes now regularly specifies Tratosflex cable for its ASCs worldwide.
The first Muelle Prat berth is expected to commence commercial operations in late 2011/early 2012 after a short period of testing and commissioning of the container handling equipment and the terminal operating system. It is expected to have an annual handling capacity of 1.5 million TEU. |
 Port Name: Virginia port (USA)
Owner: AMP MAERSK
Cranes Maker: Konecranes
Reeling Manufacturer: Cavotec SPECIMAS
Cable: TratosFlex ESDB 3X25+2X25/2+24FO(62,5/125) 8,7/15kV
Date installation: 2009
Length: 12x350 m
Speed: 300 m/m
Throughput: 1.745.228 Teu
The terminal’s all-electric crane inventory includes six super post-Panamax ship-to-shore cranes, 30 semi-automated rail-mounted gantry yard cranes (RMGs), and two rubber tire gantry cranes (RTGs) with electric spreader bars. Twenty shuttle trucks transport cargo from the dock to the stack area. Fewer diesel engines and use of on-road engines in 62 o -road terminal vehicles contribute to signi cantly reduced levels of particulate matter and nitrous oxide emissions. In addition, electric spreader bars eliminate hydraulic spills. |

Busan Port Terminal - Korea |

 Company: Busan Port Terminal - Korea
Type: Tratosflex-ESDB
Speed: 300m/m
Cable manufacturer and supplier Tratos Ltd. has won the largest order in the world for reeling cable for high speed cranes. The Tratosflex-ESDB cable is being used in 38 ZPMC cranes at the latest Busan Port terminal in Korea.
Busan Port is the world’s fifth busiest container port and largest trans shipment port in North East Asia. The Port uses state-of-the-art facilities to enable it to handle more than 13 million TEU annually through active exchange with 500 ports in 100 countries, including the latest generation high speed container cranes.
Tratosflex-ESDB is ideal for container cranes such as these, which operate at speeds up to 300m/m, as it has been designed to combat the common problem of twisting that affects cables reeling at high speed. Twisting makes cable cores elongate unevenly which in turn leads to conductors on the outer layer of a strand face a greater risk of being broken. A broken cable reeling at high speed is dangerous and can cause extensive and costly damage to equipment. |
 Company: ZPMC
Type: End-feed point, reeling
Speed: 270 m/min
Situated at the mouth of Holland’s busiest port, the Euromax harbour presents very tough working conditions for crane cables. Working with the port, we were able to design a special cable which has been operating continuously without problems since installation.
