DP World has strengthened operations at the Mundra International Container Terminal (MICT) with the addition of a new state-of-the-art quay crane and three electric Rubber-Tyre Gantry Cranes (e-RTGCs), reinforcing Gujarat’s position as a key trade hub.
The new quay crane—capable of handling vessels up to 22 rows across—equips Mundra to serve some of the world’s largest container ships with improved safety and efficiency. Featuring predictive maintenance, enhanced CCTV coverage, and energy-efficient drive systems, the crane is designed to boost reliability, precision, and productivity.
With this deployment, DP World Mundra now operates eight quay cranes, raising its handling capacity to 1.56 million TEUs by 2027 and ensuring faster vessel turnaround times.
The arrival of three new e-RTGCs, expanding the fleet to 31 units, is expected to cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 18.9% and reduce noise levels. The investment aligns with India’s Harit Sagar green port guidelines, which target 50% electrification of port equipment by 2030 and 90% by 2047.
These efforts complement DP World’s global sustainability commitments: cutting Scope 1 emissions by 42% and Scope 3 emissions by 28% by 2030 (from a 2022 baseline) and achieving net-zero carbon emissions across its value chain by 2050.
With direct connections to the Far East, Southeast Asia, Middle East, Africa, the US East Coast, and the Mediterranean, DP World Mundra remains a cornerstone of India’s trade competitiveness and global connectivity.
