• Capable of handling 55,000-lb ISO containers
   
• Developed to selectively retrieve and stage containers
   
• Scalable to various platforms and custom applications
   
• Easily backfitted to existing ships
   
• Designed to operate in high sea-state conditions

Selective Retrieval and Discharge
 The system automatically sorts selected containers and stages them for rapid discharge.
 

Autonomous Operation
 Overhead transfer units are automated and programmed to retrieve requested containers on command.
 

Underway Operation
 The system has been successfully tested at sea and is designed to operate in high sea states.
