Replacements in Liverpool
The British Peel Ports Group has placed an order for two new Liebherr ship-to-shore container cranes for its facility at the Port of Liverpool. They will replace two of the existing STS cranes, which will be relocated to Peel Ports’ Greenock Ocean Terminal at Clydeport.
The Port of Liverpool currently operates five Liebherr STS with the first STS entering service in 1999. The new STS cranes have an outreach and lift height of 40 m, a backreach of 18 m, a span of 16.8 m and a safe working load of 40 t under single lift spreader.
The transfer of the older cranes from the Port of Liverpool will enhance Clydeport's services with the increase in safe working load and operational capability. (cd)
