In line with the objective of achieving greater efficiency in its processes, Montecon integrated to its Terminal 2 operations new RTGs (Rubber Tyred Gantry) model E-one2 of Kalmar brand and Finnish origin.
These are entirely electric equipment, without hydraulic systems and with variable speed generator and diesel engine, which means lower fuel consumption (decreasing the carbon footprint) and becomes an aspect that makes them environmentally friendly.these RTGs have a capacity of 6 + 1 containers wide and 5 + 1 containers high, and are characterized by high levels of reliability and a low failure rate. Positioned as state-of-the-art equipment, they have a system called Smart Rail, which consists of the use of GPS to guide the operator in the lateral displacements, which corrects the translation track automatically according to the parameters and coordinates received in order to facilitate the operator's work.
HMM America Shipping Agency Inc. chose Montecon as port operator together with the agency Brings Uruguay, prioritising the level of service offered and the quality of attention to the shipowner that for more than two decades has been offered to its clients.
We have been recognised as a Great Place to Work® Certified™ Company, which represents shared pride and joy, because the vast majority of our staff have stated that Montecon is a great place to work.
Montecon launches new benefits for the export sector through measures targeting those cargoes that need cold supply and temperature control. These will start to be implemented from October 1st.
