Being another element of the investment plan to improve the infrastructure and capacity of the terminal, the new cranes will be able to operate on 23 rows Ultra Large Container Carriers, in both single and twin lift mode, with an expandable twin lift spreader, thus enabling LSCT to operate on the largest and latest generation vessels being deployed by global shipping lines, improving the operational capability. Customers will benefit from improved flexibility and easier choice for the design of their service network.
MGM-OMG developed a customized crane design and solutions in order to comply with LSCT technical requirements and original specifications taking into consideration the specific interaction between the quay and RMGs transferring containers to and from the stacking area thus resulting in the customized design based on 18 m of crane span. The new design of the cranes and resulting configuration and features, fully developed by MGM-OMG, meet the LSCT requirements in terms of performance, dimension and total gross weight.
