The cranes will be identical to cranes delivered to Tauranga in 2009. The cranes are scheduled for delivery in 2013 and 2014. Liebherr already has 5 STS cranes in operation at the Port of Tauranga. Speaking about the awarding of the contracts, sales and marketing manager Gerry Bunyan commented. “We are delighted to continue to supply Tauranga with ship to shore container cranes. We supplied our first crane to Tauranga in 1979 and it is still an integral part of the port’s operations today. The longevity, productivity and reliability of a Liebherr crane are its hallmarks and the Port of Tauranga has been witness to this through the last five decades.” The Port of Tauranga has experienced the productivity and low lifetime costs associated with Liebherr cranes since the 70’s. Liebherr have delivered cranes to Tauranga in 1991, 2004 and again in 2009. This level of repeat business is nothing new for Liebherr and in fact is the norm, once clients get to experience a Liebherr Crane.”
