The duisport Group of Germany is planning to increase its capacity to 5 million TEUs by January 2015 due to an expansion on the left bank of the Rhine, the company announced Monday.
The expansion will also include an increase in the number of gantry cranes at the terminal from six to 10.
“Through the targeted build-up and new construction of terminal capacities we are creating the conditions for further growth,” stated Erich Staake, chief executive officer of Duisburger Hafen AG.
The company said the first capacity expansion will be finished by the end of February.
