日本有几个新的RTG自动化项目正在进行中，涉及约69台新的RTG和8台改造机器。

There are several new RTG automation projects under way in Japan, involving around 69 new RTGs and eight retrofit machines.

2020年11月，三井E＆S机械有限公司（MES）将向日本名古屋联合集装箱码头交付22辆RTG，2022年将分两次交付。这些机器具有自动化和远程控制功能。MES还为另外13台机器提供自动化系统作为分包商。

In November 2020, Mitsui E&S Machinery Co Ltd (MES) will deliver 22 RTGs to Nagoya United Container Terminal in Japan, in two equal deliveries in 2022. These machines feature automation and remote control. MES is also supplying automation systems for a further 13 machines as a subcontractor.

此外，MES还从清水的一个码头订购了17台新的自动化RTG和5台RTG自动化改造。横滨的另一位客户订购了两套新的自动化RTG。

 In addition, MES has an order for 17 new automated RTGs and five RTG automation conversions from a terminal in Shimizu. Another customer in Yokohama has ordered two new automated RTGs.

另一家日本起重机设备制造商Mitsubishi Logisnext将向神户的Kamigumi码头提供18台自动化RTG。这些机器的交付计划于2022年3月开始。尚不清楚哪家公司为所有这些起重机提供驱动和控制系统，但是日本富士电机公司，安川电机和TMIEC公司都提供起重机自动化系统。

 Mitsubishi Logisnext, another Japanese crane OEM, will supply 18 automated RTGs to the Kamigumi terminal in Kobe. Delivery of these machines is scheduled from March 2022 onwards. It is not known which company is supplying the drive and control systems for all these cranes, but the Japanese companies Fuji Electric, Yaskawa and TMIEC all offer crane automation systems.

日本是世界上第一个使用自动化和远程控制RTG的国家，2005年，TCB名古屋（TCB Nagoya）从三菱重工（Mitsubishi Heavy Industries）引进了12台机器。重新获得对RTG自动化浪潮的助推剂是政府资金。在2019年，日本国土交通省启动了一项用于远程控制/自动RTG的资助计划，部分目的是帮助该行业为未来几年日本预计的劳动力短缺做好准备。

Japan is home to the first terminal in the world to use automated and remote-controlled RTGs, with TCB Nagoya having introduced 12 machines from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in 2005. The CATalyst for the renewed interest in RTG automation is government funding. In 2019, Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport began a funding programme for remote control/automated RTGs, in part to help prepare the industry for what is expected to be a labour shortage in the country in the coming years.
