ICTSI Motukea handles first gearless vessel

MOTUKEA International Terminal (MIT), a unit of International Container Terminal Services Inc. (ICTSI) at Port Moresby, recently handled Papua New Guinea's first international gearless vessel, showing the port's cargo handling efficiency.

MIT handled the gearless vessel, Indonesian-flagged Meratus Samarinda. A gearless vessel is a ship without cranes and relies on shore-based equipment at its ports of call to load and unload cargo.
