Global Container Terminals (GCT) is progressing its multi-year terminal enhancement initiative at Deltaport with the delivery of two additional ship-to-shore (STS) cranes. These new cranes are part of a CA$170 million investment in modern cargo handling equipment designed to replace ageing units, strengthen operational safety and boost overall terminal efficiency. The project focuses on upgrading the terminal’s crane fleet with advanced equipment that supports smoother vessel operations, improved cargo throughput, and flexible service offerings for larger container vessels.
