Moreover, KMCT uses windmills and solar panels to generate power which has allowed the facility to cut CO2 emissions. KMCT emphasizes energy conservation, a reduction of emissions, and protection of the environment, and successes in these areas have won it a reputation as a “green terminal.” KMCT has an excellent location that is near the entrance to the second harbor in Kaohsiung port. A vessel can quickly berth at its terminal by simply making a right turn. The terminal has a 960-meter-long berth with water as deep as 16.5 meters, long and deep enough to simultaneously accommodate two containerships of 14,000 TEUs or more. The second-phase of the BOT project was started in 2012 and is scheduled to be completed in September 2014. At that time, KMCT will have four berths with a total length of 1,500 meters, and will be able to simultaneously accommodate four containerships of 14,000 TEUs or above. The NYK Group will continue its effort to improve its container-terminal network and provide better service to customers. * Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) Business method that allows private entities to construct, maintain, manage, and operate a facility, and the ownership is transferred to an administrator of the facility after business operations cease.
