Doosan Heavy Industries Vietnam Co Ltd (Doosan Vina) has recently shipped three rail-mounted quay cranes to India.

They are part of an order of 12 cranes requested by India-based Bharat Mumbai Container Terminals Private Limited, to deal with substantial throughput at its unit in the Jawaharlal Nehru Port (JNPT) in Mumbai. So far, a total of nine units have been exported to India.

The export is a key project of Doosan Vina, which has been prioritised for development by the Vietnamese Government.

The three rail-mounted quay cranes have a total weight of 4,440 tonnes. Each crane is 73.8m high, 143m long and 26m wide. Each one is designed to handle 75-tonne containers.

The last three cranes of the project are expected to be exported to India in September. Doosan Vina has so far exported 71 cranes to the world market, including PSA Port of Singapore, JNPT of India, Samarinda Port of Indonesia and several ports of Viet Nam. — VNS
