🆕 PSA Halifax and Port Halifax have welcomed two new electric rail-mounted gantry (RMG) cranes at the Atlantic Hub terminal — introducing the first remotely operated yard equipment in Halifax. Operated from a centralised control room, the new cranes 𝗲𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 for our people by eliminating the need to work at height and in challenging weather conditions, while 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘆, 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. The electric-powered cranes also support 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, with an expected reduction of at least 640 tonnes of carbon emissions annually — equivalent to removing nearly 140 passenger vehicles from the road. 🌳🚗 As part of the Inter-Terminal Rail Solution Project, the new cranes will strengthen rail connectivity between PSA Halifax terminals and support increased capacity for container rail services across Canada, enabling faster and more efficient cargo flows for customers. 👏 Congratulations to the PSA Halifax team and partners on this milestone as we continue strengthening resilient, efficient and more sustainable port and supply chain ecosystems.
