Fujitrans Corporation (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Nagoya; President: Masahiko Tsumoto) will begin full-scale operation of rubber-tired gantry cranes (hereinafter, RTG) at its Nishihama Container Yard, which it operates, starting May 1, 2026.
【Enhancement and Expansion of Inland Depot Functions】
With the full-scale operation of the RTGs, the storage capacity for laden containers will significantly expand from approximately 600 TEU to approximately 1,400 TEU, an increase of about 2.3 times. This will allow the Nishihama Container Yard, in addition to its conventional function as an empty container depot, to provide high-quality logistics services as a comprehensive inland depot, catering to the diverse needs of its customers.
【Initiatives for Achieving a Carbon Neutral Port (CNP)】
The introduced RTG model combines a diesel engine with hybrid technology, making it a "near-zero emission" model. Compared to conventional diesel types, it reduces CO2 emissions by approximately 70% (estimated CO2 reduction: -88,032 kgCO2/year).
Furthermore, it adopts a design that allows for future conversion to hydrogen fuel cells, making it an advanced facility that anticipates "zero emissions" in the future, in line with the development of supply infrastructure.
Towards realizing a decarbonized society as set forth in its sustainability vision, "Fujitrans Sustainability Vision 2050," the Fujitrans Group will continue to strive for the improvement of sustainable logistics services.
