Delivery of the two HMK 170 E cranes is planned for the second half of 2011. “The two Mobile Harbour Cranes operate flexibly and, in addition to general cargo, also handle containers”, says Abdullahi Samatar, Technical Services Manager at Kenya Ports Authority. “With this modernisation of our machinery, the cranes form an essential component in order to further increase productivity in the Port of Mombasa and develop the port into an even more efficient handling location. Since 2010 we have already been working with a Gottwald Mobile Harbour Crane, with which we have had wonderful experience.”
Having completed this business transaction successfully, Demag Cranes has further increased in its presence in Africa. In the past five years alone, for example, more than 50 Mobile Harbour Cranes have been supplied to the African Continent.
