Asian Terminals Inc. (ATI) is adding a wide range of equipment to boost the operational efficiency and service reliability of Manila South Harbor, including a new Liebherr quay crane at the gateway port.

ATI’s new quay crane, capable of handling post-panamax ships with 60-ton twin-lift capacity and boom reach of 16 containers wide, was deployed at the newly rehabilitated Pier 3, which was outfitted last year with extended crane rails and expanded back-up container storage areas. The new crane brings the combined strength and synergy of ATI’s ship-to-shore cranes to nine.
