Solutions

Our team collaborated closely with SCCT’s Procurement Department, providing clear communication and flexible solutions to align logistical and financial aspects. We meticulously reviewed technical specifications to ensure all cables met or exceeded SCCT’s standards. Through efficient supply chain management and rigorous quality control, we addressed these challenges effectively.

Client & Site Background

The Suez Canal is one of the most strategic maritime trade routes globally, making its port facilities a critical hub for international shipping. The port modernization project included upgrading crane electrification systems to ensure maximum uptime and efficiency.

Our client, a major EPC contractor in the Middle East, required a rugged, high-speed reeling cable capable of handling extreme environmental and mechanical stress typical to port operations in hot, humid, and salt-laden coastal zones.

Project Challenges

Dynamic Operation: Frequent movement of RTG cranes required cables with high flexibility and long service life.

Environmental Exposure: The coastal location exposed the system to salt fog, humidity, and high ambient temperatures.

Technical Compliance: The cables had to meet VDE 0250 standards and provide superior mechanical performance.

Tight Timeline: The project demanded rapid technical support and delivery within a strict schedule.

Our Solution

We supplied our upgraded model G-300716GPG-M&R-RTGS, a high-performance crane reeling cable specifically engineered for harsh port environments. Key features include:

• Standards Compliance: Fully VDE 0250 and CE compliant

• Cable Structure:

  • Extra-flexible copper conductors

  • Special EPR insulation for thermal stability

  • Double-layered outer sheath (PUR + high-strength Kevlar-reinforced jacket)

  • Integrated anti-torsion braids

• Temperature Resistance: -35°C to +90°C operating range

• Dynamic Bending Radius: As low as 7.5 x cable diameter

• Speed: Suitable for drum reeling speeds up to 200 m/min

We also provided:

• Custom cut lengths with pre-assembled terminals

• Full technical drawing set within 48 hours

• 24/7 remote engineering consultation
