   ABB起重機系統(tǒng)助力鹿特丹港發(fā)展
   2006-01-16 - Rotterdam, the world’s second largest port by cargo volume, is expanding capacity by 25 percent to meet the global boom in container traffic. ABB is supplying advanced integrated automation and electrical systems for the 76 terminal cranes.
   2006-01-16—世界上第二大貨物吞吐量港鹿特丹港正以25%的速度增長以滿足全球集裝箱運輸?shù)娘w速增長。ABB為其76臺港口起重機提供先進集成自動化和電氣系統(tǒng)

             
   The port of Rotterdam is booming. Container traffic in 2004 grew by 16 percent to 8.3 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU), each unit corresponding to a 20-foot long shipping container.
   鹿特丹港正在飛速發(fā)展，2004年的集裝箱吞吐量上升了16%，達到830萬個標準箱單位    （TEU），每個單位對應一個20英尺的船運集裝箱。
   With growth in traffic expected to continue, Europe Terminal Operators (ECT) and A.P. Moller - Maersk are building a new container complex that will expand capacity at Rotterdam by an additional two million TEU containers a year.
   因人們預計集裝箱的運輸量將持續(xù)增長，歐洲港口運營公司（ECT）和A.P.穆勒—馬士基公司正在聯(lián)合新建一條集裝箱碼頭，這樣鹿特丹港每年將可以吞吐多2百萬個TEU的集裝箱。

   Euromax will feature 76 cranes equipped with ABB''''s advanced sensor, drive and automation technologies.
   Euromax將在76臺起重機上安裝ABB先進的傳感器、驅動和自動化技術
   The new Euromax Terminal will make Rotterdam larger than the combined capacity of its three nearest European rivals – Antwerp, Hamburg and Marseille – and strengthen its position as one of the world’s most important container hubs.
   新的Euromax港口將使鹿特丹的年吞吐量比其最近的三個競爭對手—安特衛(wèi)普、漢堡和馬賽的年吞吐量總和還多，并且使其成為世界上最重要的集裝箱中心之一。
   Euromax will feature the most modern technology available: 16 semi-automated quay cranes, 58 fully automatic rail-mounted stacking cranes, two cranes for loading and unloading rail wagons – all equipped with ABB’s advanced sensor, drive and automation technologies – and driverless vehicles for transporting containers from the quay.
   Euromax將運用最先進的技術：16臺半自動港岸起重機，58臺全自動吊軌堆放起重機，2臺用于裝卸的有軌車的起重機，這些起重機全部安裝了ABB先進的傳感器、驅動和自動化技術，而且更有無人駕駛拖車從碼頭運輸集裝箱。
   The storage yard will house 40,000 TEU containers stacked up to five high by automatic stacking cranes with system features like message interface for automated order handling, container recognition for quick identification of containers, target positioning for the speedy location of containers and vehicles, load positioning for accurate container placement, and remote control for truck handling – all of which are key functions for rapid, accurate and safe operation.
   堆存碼頭將可以容納4萬個TEU的自動堆放起重機堆存起來的集裝箱。這些起重機具有如下的系統(tǒng)特點：自動命令處理信息界面，快速識別集裝箱的集裝箱識別功能，集裝箱和拖車的快速目標定位功能，準確放置集裝箱的負載定位功能，拖車處理的遠程控制等等，這些功能均是快速、準確、安全操作的重要保障。
   ABB was awarded the order by Euromax and is working in conjunction with Shanghai Zhenhua Port Machinery Company (ZPMC), the world’s largest terminal crane contractor.
   ABB的定單由Euromax提供，ABB將與世界上最大的港口起重機制造商上海震華（音譯）港口機械公司一起完成此工程。
