en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Port of Halifax has received two new electric rail-mounted gantry (RMG) cranes at PSA Halifax's Atlantic Hub terminal, marking the port's first introduction of remote-controlled yard equipment aimed at boosting capacity, efficiency, and reliability.

Operators can remotely control these new cranes from a central control room, eliminating the need for high-altitude work or outdoor operations in adverse weather conditions, thereby improving safety and comfort while enhancing yard operation precision and throughput.

This investment is part of the Inter-Terminal Rail Solution Project, led by the Halifax Port Authority and supported by Transport Canada's National Trade Corridors Fund. The project includes optimizing the rail yard at the Atlantic Hub terminal to expand capacity in response to growing demand.
