(HIT) became the first container
operator in Asia to heighten two quay
cranes in situ when it inserted three
metres of steel into the legs of two
cranes with the help of an innovative
jacking frame. Apart from this piece of
good news, Hutchison Port Holdings
received a record number of calls
from mega-vessels in 2013 including
the world’s largest container ship and
the second of the Triple-E vessels,
the 18,000-TEU Majestic Maersk
at Yantian International Container
Terminals.
