The G HMK 8410 will also allow the operator to service super post-Panamax vessels in future. Commercial operation is scheduled to start in the second quarter of 2011. “The new crane is an integral part of our ambitious expansion plans and will no doubt contribute to increasing our efficiency and competitiveness and thus add to the attractiveness of our port,” enthused Emilio Bouchon, General Manager Puerto Angamos, Mejillones. Thomas H. Hagen, Member of the Management Board of Demag Cranes AG and COO, emphasised, “There is no doubt that Central and South America have developed into one of our high-focus markets. Disproportionate growth in the region underlines its strategic importance for the Demag Cranes Group. We will continue to expand our local business activities accordingly.”
