Šodien BCT mums bija satraucošs notikums kraujot MSC kuģi EYRA. VISI četri piestātnes celtņi tika nodarbināti uz viena kuģa, pirmo reizi BCT vēsturē.

Gada laikā BCT ir ieguldījis infrastruktūrā un dažādās iekārtās ieskaitot: uzbūvēti 2 dzelzceļa pievedceļi; iegādāts jauns SANY konteineru pārkrāvējs; iegādāti 2 ostas vilcēji ar 45’pēdu piekabēm; 3 dažādi mazie noliktavas iekrāvēji; optiskā konteineru numuru atpazīšanas sistēma; 2 konteineru svēršanas iekārtas.

Ir uzstādīts jauns rekords apstrādājot kravu uz kuģa MSC AKERDIJK, vienā stundā pārkraujot 107 konteinerus.

2016. gadā pārkrauto konteineru daudzums sastādīja 262’822 TEU, kas bija par +11,7% vairāk kā 2015. gadā.

MSC has started calling at BCT with an additional service BALTIC LOOP 7, with port rotation: Bremerhaven-Rotterdam-St Petersburg-Riga-Bremerhaven.

MSC Santhya called at BCT on the 30th March 2016 under new MSC service Baltic Loop 7. Having a length of 237m, makes the MSC Santhya the largest container vessel to call at the port of Riga.

BCT has gone live with Navis’ N4 terminal operating system version 3.1, making it the first container terminal in Europe, Middle East and Africa to implement this system. Major benefits from this version are enhancement in yard planning, gate movements, EDI, reduction in equipment idle time and yard congestion.

BCT is to be the first container terminal worldwide to go live with Navis’ N4 version 3.1 which was released in October this year and is an upgrade on the current v2.6 and includes unique features such as weighing system integration API and visual web-based and touch-aware crane driver’s user interface.

Further extension of BCTs warehousing capacity is planned such that the existing capacity of 20,000sqm will be doubled through the addition of two new warehouses. The first stage of the project is to include new rail access to both warehouses, one of which is planned to be heated.

A new ship-to-shore container crane, produced by Sany, was commissioned at BCT in November 2015. Lifting capacity of 45t under spreader, an outreach of 44.5m and a lift above quay level of 34m. This is the 4th STS crane at BCT – this will allow for servicing of larger vessels and will also significantly speed up operations at the terminal.
