Hutchison Ports Thailand (HPT), the leading port investor in Thailand and operator of Terminals A2, A3, C1-2, and D1-3 at Laem Chabang Port, received three new remote control super post panamax quay cranes at its Terminal D facility in December 2025. This brings the total number of super post panamax quay cranes at this terminal to 17, supporting a quay length of 1,700 metres.
The arrival of these new cranes marks the final phase of Terminal D’s development, which will bolster HPT’s service offerings and container-handling capacity, enabling the terminal to accommodate three mega-vessels and a feeder vessel simultaneously. Following the addition of seven remote control yard cranes at Terminal D in October 2025, HPT now provides a comprehensive range of services achieving superior efficiency.
This new equipment additionally showcases HPT’s commitment to operational excellence across all terminals. It highlights advanced container-handling capabilities powered by the latest technology, including remote control quay and yard cranes and autonomous electric trucks. Furthermore, HPT recently celebrated a milestone of 50 million TEUs of containers handled since its commencement of operations in 2002, underscoring its commitment to sustainable growth and development.
HPT’s Terminal D now has an operating capacity of 3.5 million TEUs which will also strengthen terminal sustainability through the enhancement of safety and the use of electrically powered equipment.
