Siemens has partnered with Myanmar Mahar Htun Co. Ltd. (MMH) to provide
technology and solutions for Myanmar’s busy ports with ever-increasing
requirements. Through this collaboration, MMH will equip ports with cranes that
feature Siemens’ technology, which would enable them to upgrade their services,
enhance safety features and improve productivity. This is in alignment with the
focus of Myanmar Port Authority (MPA) to increase capabilities of the country’s
port facilities.

Myanmar, with its strategic location that is connected to key regional
markets China and India, and bordering three other Asian countries, Bangladesh,
Thailand and Laos, currently is able to handle around 20 small tankers with
around a total of 220,000 deadweight tonnes (DWT). This number is set to
further rise with the expansion of its ports. In particular, its Yangon port is
expected to handle ships with maximum of 50,000 DWT, putting it in front of
ports in other Southeast Asian markets.

Christian Beckers, Head of Business Development, Digital Factory and
Process Industry and Drives, Siemens Myanmar and Cambodia, said: “Growing
demand for quality goods plus increase in trade and investments will create new
opportunities for expansion of Myanmar’s port and logistics sector. Hence, it
is important for the terminals to be equipped with the ability to handle the
surging amount of imports and exports expected in the coming years.”

“Siemens’ innovative technologies can enhance productivity, energy efficiency and
flexibility while at the same time fulfil the highest international safety
standards and increased competitiveness in the market. Along with MMH and the MPA,
we aim to enhance port optimization to reliably handle increased traffic and
trade volumes,” he continued.

Cranes are indispensable for transporting loads in
terminals, industrial operations and shipyards. Wherever they are used, they
must operate with the greatest performance and safety, as well as optimal
availability, reliability, maintainability and cost-effectiveness.

To underline their commitment to the industry in Myanmar, Siemens and MMH
have also recently organized a seminar for their customers to discuss
challenges faced by different terminals and identify potential solutions to
address these challenges. The seminar, which was also organized with the support
of MPA, enabled Siemens to showcase how its technology would enable the
companies to enhance their offerings to meet with current and future industry
demands.

As a
close partner of the industry with more than 100 years of experience, Siemens
has extensive knowledge concerning control and automation applications for
cranes. Whether for shipyards, terminals, steelworks or power plants, its
solutions provide a holistic support to customers, ensuring reliable and
energy-efficient crane operations around the world. For instance, Siemens’
Simocrane technology platform considers the ever-shorter load handling times
together with reduced energy requirements. The Simocrane technology platform
covers both the crane requirements arising in harbor applications (container
loading and unloading, batch and gripper mode) and in the industrial sector of
the steel and paper industry (ladle cranes, coil handling crane or paper roll
handling crane), in shipbuilding (goliath cranes) and in numerous other
industrial applications.
