Two electric quay cranes and eight electric yard cranes purchased by Santos Brasil left China bound for Tecon Santos aboard the ship Zhen Hua 28. The equipment from Chinese company ZPMC is part of the terminal's expansion, modernization, and decarbonization project, with investments of around R$ 300 million.

The Tecon Santos expansion and modernization project began in 2019 and, by 2031, approximately R$ 3 billion (updated values) will have been invested, of which R$ 2 billion has already been spent. It is aligned with the Company's Climate Transition Plan, which aims to become net zero by 2040.

The ship Zhen Hua 28 is expected to arrive at the Port of Santos in the first half of January. The equipment is transported assembled on the ship's deck. At the terminal, it will be unloaded via rails connecting the vessel to the pier.
