MITSUI E&S Co., Ltd has replaced the conventional diesel engine generator set installed on a near-zero-emission Rubber Tired Gantry Cranes (RTG) which MITSUI E&S delivered to Utoc Corp. at the Yokohama Port Minami-Honmoku Pier Container Terminal with a hydrogen fuel cell power pack.
For many years, MITSUI E&S has been developing cargo handling equipment utilising hydrogen fuel, laying the foundation for achieving zero emissions at ports. The RTG, which MITSUI E&S provided technical support for and retrofitted, is now being used in Utoc's ‘on-site demonstration project for cargo handling equipment powered by hydrogen fuel’, operating as a zero-emission cargo handling machine fuelled solely by hydrogen at the Minami-Honmoku Pier Container Terminal. This initiative enables CO2 emission reduction at ports and contributes to achieving carbon neutrality in port operations.
MITSUI E&S will further promote technological development aimed at reducing the environmental impact of ports through the provision of cargo handling equipment products and services powered by hydrogen fuel. MITSUI E&S is committed to contributing to the realisation of a safe and efficient carbon-neutral society while striving to build a sustainable future.
