ECT cranes due next month
View(s):Colombo Port’s East Container Terminal (ECT) is scheduled to receive three cranes from China by early February that will ensure it becomes operational by June this year.
Sri Lanka Ports Authority (SLPA) Chairman Keith Bernard said the three cranes were delayed in loading from China and the shipment that was expected on January 25 will now be arriving in the first week of February.
In the meantime, there is an issue with the ECT yard, the Chairman said noting that due to silting they need to ensure that the filling is properly settled.
This problem had arisen about six months back, he said adding that they have now carried out their investigations regarding this issue and carried out the necessary remedies.
It was pointed out that there is silt in the reclaimed land when filling that area and as a result there are pockets that need to be further filled in order to ensure that the cranes that run on the rails do not get disaligned.
Cranes now fitted at the ECT need to be fixed onto the Jaya Container Terminal (JCT) for which those cranes were meant for.
