ACT Burgas

After revaluation of the importance of container transport at the end of last year a specialized department "Advance Container Terminal Burgas“ was created, which operates the container terminal in the Port terminal "Burgas West". Investments in infrastructure and equipment renovation intended to increase the capacity and reduce the time for handling of cargo. For this purpose BMF Port Burgas purchased two new 100 t mobile cranes, four reachstakers, eight terminal tractors, eight trailers with capacity 65 tons each. In June 2015 a Terminal Operating System NAVIS was implemented enabling the management and control of the container traffic on the port terminal. Containers can be stripped and stuffed in a CFS (container freight station area) where only qualified stuff and experienced staff is employed and operates dedicated equipment, including five 16 t forklifts, five 3.5 t forklifts, two 8 t forklifts, two electrical forklifts and one 2.5 t telescoping forklift. Current capacity of the container terminal is estimated at 200,000 TEU, which equals to entire container traffic in Bulgaria at the moment. BMF Port Burgas works with eight shipping lines - MSC, Maersk, Norasia, Arkas, Hapag Lloyd, Yang Ming, NYK, CMA-CGM.
