Terminal Portuario de Guayaquil surpasses 2,200 hours of training with state of the art port simulators

In the first half of 2026, Terminal Portuario de Guayaquil (TPG), a Hanseatic Global Terminals port, has already accumulated more than 1,000 hours of training for reachstacker operators and more than 1,200 hours for STS and RTG crane operators through its state-of-the-art simulators.

These training sessions have been implemented across different strategic stages—including induction, training, recertification, and skills reinforcement—consolidating the success of TPG’s new virtual simulation system.

“These simulators allow our people to train in a virtual environment that faithfully replicates real port conditions, ensuring the continuity of operations 24 hours a day without interrupting commercial activity,” said LuisEnrique Navas, general manager of TPG.

“We are putting technology at the service of better operations while providing our team with more tools to succeed”, said.

The simulators accelerate the learning curve for new operators while continuously updating the skills of experienced personnel, helping to optimize productivity levels. In addition, their use results in energy savings and greater efficiency compared with training on actual equipment.

Developed by the renowned Finnish company Mevea, the simulators accurately replicate the controls of port cranes and vehicles, allowing operators to train under adverse weather conditions, emergency scenarios, and risk assessment situations.
