Bromma Develops "Green Spreader Spec" Guidelines For Port Planners
The world’s leading crane spreader company, Stockholm (Sweden) based Bromma, has developed a set of green spreader spec guidelines for consideration by port planners as they set green specification criteria for next generation investments. Recommended green spec areas include such topics as:
- the relationship between spreader efficiency standards (MTBF, MMBF, and MTTR) and environmental impact in terms of truck idling
- the correlation between crane power consumption and crane spreader weight
- spreader energy consumption and its correlation with spreader design decisions
- spreader consumables and their correlation with spreader design issues
- minimization of oil spill risk
- the place of the spreader in noise abatement
Bromma pioneered the development of all-electric yard crane spreaders, which are the standard yard crane spreader solution for most terminals around the world. Many terminals are also increasingly specifying all-electric spreaders for the twin-lift portion of their spreader fleet, continuing the long-term trend in recent years of moving from hydraulic to all-electric spreaders in single-lift yard crane operations.
More recently, Bromma has seen strong customer interest in its new all-electric ship-to-shore GREENLINE™ spreaders, as ports consider a similar hydraulic-to-all-electric equipment transition for their ship-to-shore fleets.
All-electric yard crane spreader fleet upgrades (orders for 20 or more GREENLINE™ spreaders) have been won by Bromma recently at leading terminals such as: SA Port, Durban, South Africa; Salalah, Oman; TTI, Algeciras, Spain; Thai Prosperity Terminal, Thailand; and the Port of Felixstowe, UK. Early adopters of all-electric twin-lift design includes some of the leading terminal organizations in the world (APM Terminals, DP World and Hutchison Port Holdings) as well as some of the highest-throughput terminals in the world (CTB Terminal at HHLA, Hamburg in Europe, and the Port of Tianjin in China, the 5th largest port in the world.)

The list of terminals which have ordered all-electric separating twin-lift spreaders now includes: APM Terminals for West Africa Container Terminal in Rivers State, Nigeria; DPW World for Dakar, Senegal; Malta Freeport; CTB Terminal at HHLA, Hamburg, Germany; Port of Felixstowe, Hutchison Port Holdings (United Kingdom); APM Terminals for Laem Chabang, Thailand; DPW World for Adelaide, Australia; and Port of Tianjin, China.
"Green spreaders represent a primary 'design value' of our organization", notes Vikram Raman, V.P of Sales and Services at Bromma. "However, while green equipment solutions in some areas of port operations are more costly than non-green equipment, in the case of the spreader, the situation is quite the reverse. Green spreaders with a lower weight and all-electric design actually cost less than non-green spreaders, due to sharply lower lifecycle costs. Adopting a green spreader spec thus does not require financial sacrifice; going green actually confers a financial advantage to the terminal. This is just one reason why so many terminals around the world are keenly interested in GREENLINE™ spreader fleet solutions".
