- Requirements: Cables for port automation project.
- Tratos Product: Tratosflex
- Direct Client: ZPMC
- Final Client: Peel Ports
Tratos and ZPMC cooperation
Tratos has supplied its Tratosflex ESDB cable through ZPMC to modernise the Liverpool port. Peel Ports, the final client for this project, has invested £400 million over the past three years constructing Liverpool2, to expand the UK’s largest transatlantic port and create one of Europe’s most advanced container terminals.
The terminal operates 8 Ship to Shore STS cranes, and 32 Cantilever Rail Mounted Gantry cranes (CRMG) which run on the yard automatically at high speeds.
Tratosflex ESDB, was specifically designed for high-speed reeling. TRATOSFLEX features a unique internal cable design, with the structure tightened against the internal relative movement. This prevents the cable from twisting and leading to possible breakage – extremely dangerous when reeling at speeds up to 300m/m.
As a result of this sophisticated, reliable design, ZPMC has teamed up with Tratos on Automation projects at Ports & Terminals involving ASC or E-RTG running at high speeds.

#Envision2030 Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being
- By 2030, substantially reduce the number of deaths and illnesses from hazardous chemicals and air, water and soil pollution and contamination
#Envision2030 Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
- Achieve higher levels of economic productivity through diversification, technological upgrading and innovation, including through a focus on high-value added and labour-intensive sectors
- Improve progressively, through 2030, global resource efficiency in consumption and production and endeavour to decouple economic growth from environmental degradation, in accordance with the 10-year framework of programmes on sustainable consumption and production, with developed countries taking the lead
#Envision2030 Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
- By 2030, significantly reduce the number of deaths and the number of people affected and substantially decrease the direct economic losses relative to global gross domestic product caused by disasters, including water-related disasters, with a focus on protecting the poor and people in vulnerable situations
#Envision2030 Goal 14: Life Below Water
Targets
- By 2025, prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds, in particular from land-based activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution
- Minimize and address the impacts of ocean acidification, including through enhanced scientific cooperation at all levels
