KUMPORT PORT
eRTG CONVERSION PROJECT
RTG Crane Electrification and Busbar Power Transmission at Kumport
In the eRTG project carried out at Kumport Port (Ambarlı, Istanbul), BM Makina enabled diesel RTG cranes to switch to a grid-fed electric operating model with VAHLE conductor rail (busbar) infrastructure, current-collection systems and on-crane integration solutions. The insulated conductor lines installed along the RTG runways provide uninterrupted 3-phase power transmission, while an optional data-transmission architecture (SMGX, etc.) also supports monitoring and communication infrastructure in field operations. Within the project, steel support structures, feed points, panel/control infrastructure and commissioning processes were adapted to the site with BM Makina engineering. As a result, Kumport moved to a quieter, cleaner and more sustainable site operation that reduces fuel consumption and the maintenance burden in RTG operations.
