The new APMT 2.7 million TEU annual capacity deep-sea facility will be the world’s first terminal to eliminate container handling equipment emissions.

APM Terminals has signed a two-year, €5 million (USD $6.23 million) contract with Nuon Energy for the supply of environmentally-sustainable wind-generated electricity to power the new APM Terminals Maasvlakte II cranes and container handling equipment. The new deep-water terminal, scheduled to receive its first commercial vessel call later this month, will be the world’s first container terminal with zero emissions on site and off site. The contract term begins January 1st 2015.

APM Terminals’ Maasvlakte II terminal was already positioned as the first terminal worldwide with zero emissions on site, through the electrification of all its quay and yard cranes and the innovation of a fleet of 37 electric battery-powered Lift-Automatic Guided Vehicles (Lift-AGVs) which will transport containers to the yard from the quay With the contract with Nuon, APM Terminals now pushes it ambition further in the power supply chain, by adopting 100% power supply by European windparks on- and offshore.
