New equipment for Antwerp
Antwerp Container Terminal (ACOT), a member of the SEA-invest Group, has placed an order for two Liebherr ship-to-shore container cranes. The cranes are identical to one already delivered in 2020.
SEA-invest is active in 25 ports spread across two continents. In Antwerp, SEA-invest started out from bulk activities, fruit handling and tank storage until the acquisition of a container terminal from Independent Marine Terminal in 2016, which laid the basis for what was to become Antwerp Container Terminal.
Now, the new Liebherr machines will complement the older STS cranes that came with the initial purchase of the terminal in 2016.
The Liebherr STS cranes have an outreach of 60 m, a span of 30 m, a backreach of 25 m, a lift height over rail of 46 m and a safe working load of 65 t under a twin lift spreader. (cd)
