Konecranes宣布，弗吉尼亚港已为其诺福克国际码头 (NIT)设施的铁路堆场订购了三台Konecranes RMG。在这之前，弗吉尼亚国际口岸 (VIG) 已成功配置了四台KonecranesRMG，与此次起重机设计相似。该订单于2021年11月下单，这些起重机将于2023年年底完成交付。这些起重机将于 2023 年底交付，是 NIT 中央铁路场扩建 8000 万美元的一部分，建成后每年将能够处理超过 600,000 个move。
Konecranes has announced that Port of Virginia has ordered three Konecranes RMGs for the railyard at its Norfolk International Terminals (NIT) facility.. This follows on the successful deployment of four Konecranes RMGs of a similar design at the Virginia International Gateway (VIG). The order was booked in November 2021, and the cranes will be delivered by the end of 2023.The cranes will be delivered by the end of 2023 and are part of a US$80 million expansion of the Central Rail Yard at NIT, which when complete will be able to handle more than 600,000 lifts annually.
弗吉尼亚州是Konecranes的长期客户，其诺福克国际 (NIT) 和弗吉尼亚国际 (VIG) 集装箱码头拥有 116 台Konecranes自动化 ARMG起重机。所有这些起重机都配备了 TMEIC 的驱动和自动化系统，TMEIC 还将为三台新集装箱轨道起重机提供这些电控系统。
Virginia is a longstanding Konecranes customer, with a fleet of 116 Konecranes Automated RMG (ARMG) cranes working at its Norfolk International (NIT) and Virginia International (VIG) container terminals. All these cranes have drives and automation systems from TMEIC, which will also supply these systems for the three new cranes.
NIT 铁路堆场的新轨道吊具有与弗吉尼亚州在其 VIG 铁路堆场成功部署的自动化和远程操作员相同的组合。
New RMGs for the NIT railyard feature the same mix of automation and remote operators that Virginia has successfully deployed at its VIG railyard.
弗吉尼亚港是科尼集团的长期客户，在其诺福克港国际码头以及弗吉尼亚国际集装箱码头已有116台Konecranes自动轨道式龙门起重机 (ARMG ) 投入运营。新型起重机和当前KonecranesRMG的运作方式非常相似，将服务于美国中西部和俄亥俄山谷的港口客户，进行集装箱列车和码头卡车的装卸作业。
The Port of Virginia is a longstanding Konecranes customer, with a fleet of 116 Konecranes Automated RMG (ARMG) cranes working at its Norfolk International (NIT) and Virginia International (VIG) container terminals. The new cranes will work in a very similar way to the current Konecranes RMGs, loading and unloading trains and terminal trucks to serve the port’s customers in the Midwest and Ohio Valley.
新型Konecranes轨道式龙门起重机将由控制中心远程操控，所以没有配备驾驶室。起重机可将集装箱堆1过2，装卸双层集装箱列车，起升高度为12.2米（40’），轨距为23.5米（77’），外伸距13米（42’8”）。
The new Konecranes RMGs will be remotely operated from a control center, so they will not have cabins. They will lift containers 1-over-2 high, handling double-stacked trains, with a lifting height of 12.2m (40’), a span of 23.5m (77’), and an outreach of 13m (42’ 8’’).
“得益于Konecranes集团的集装箱装卸技术，弗吉尼亚港飞速成长，并蓬勃发展。我们一直在竭尽所能找寻新方法来改善集装箱装卸作业，包括利用Konecranes的技术带给我们的可能性。”
“The Port of Virginia has grown and flourished with Konecranes’ container handling technology. We are always finding new ways to improve our container handling operations, using everything at our disposal including the possibilities that Konecranes technology gives us.”
2018年1月，诺福克港国际码头开启了价值4.52亿美元的港口优化工程，使该区域的港口容量提升了46%。该码头有直达诺福克南方铁路公司（NS）中心地带走廊的码头铁路，其双层集装箱服务次日即可抵达内陆市场。它们也准许CSX联运公司参与运输。拓宽铁路运输对美国中西部地区以及俄亥俄山谷的港口客户来说至关重要。
In January 2018, construction began on a $452 million terminal optimization project at NIT that increased the terminal’s capacity by 46 percent within the same footprint. NIT has direct, on-dock rail access to Norfolk Southern’s Heartland Corridor, allowing second-day double-stack service to inland markets. NIT also gives access to CSX Intermodal. Expanded rail services are critical to the port’s customers in the Midwest and Ohio Valley.
Konecranes这份起重机新订单是对港口码头的持续性投资。集装箱轨道式龙门起重机是诺福克港国际码头中央铁路堆场扩建项目的一部分，该项目投资8000万美元，完工后每年将能够处理60多万TEU的装卸作业量。
This latest order of equipment from Konecranes continues the port’s investment in its terminals. The RMGs are part of an $80 million expansion of the Central Rail Yard at NIT, which when complete will be able to handle more than 600,000 lifts annually.
