RTG Invest $30M in advanced STS cranes

RSGT Bangladesh, the first privately-owned container terminal in the country, is proud to announce a further significant investment in its terminal infrastructure. Following the recent acquisition of 14 Rubber Tyred Gantry Cranes (RTGs) for USD 26 million, RSGT Bangladesh is making an additional investment of approximately USD 30 million in four state-of-the-art Ship-to-Shore (STS) Cranes.
The new STS cranes, procured from SANY Marine Heavy Industry, equipped with the latest technological innovations enable RSGT Bangladesh to efficiently handle the largest vessels calling at the Port of Chittagong. Their deployment in early 2026 will increase RSGT Bangladesh annual container handling capacity from 250,000 TEUs to 600,000 TEUs, significantly improving operational efficiency and reducing logistics costs.
