Huadong has received a notice from Singaporean port group PSA about winning the tender to supply the latter with 28 gantry cranes in Tuas port, the Wuxi-based company said in a statement yesterday.  

Tuas terminal port will be able to handle 65 million twenty-foot equivalent units each year, the statement said. The cargo harbor is expected to be ready in 2040.
