DP World, one of the world’s largest port operators, has selected Loop Energy and Tycrop Manufacturing to provide a hydrogen electric solution for its pilot project to decarbonize its rubber-tired gantry cranes (RTGs) fleet at the Port of Vancouver. The pilot project will see DP World’s first RTG powered by hydrogen fuel cell systems put into operation. The RTG pilot is expected to begin operation in Q2 2024 and will be used as a demonstrator to scale the electrification across the organization’’s global fleet in subsequent phases. With RTGs accounting for as much as 50 percent of shore-segment carbon emissions, DP World views development of a carbon-neutral solution for this segment of its operations as a critical component to achieving its overall decarbonization strategy. Tycrop’�s record in design, construction and execution of complex and operationally imperative equipment was a key qualifier to DP World’s selection, with the RTG testing conducted in real port conditions and everyday terminal operations.
