Luka Koper orders more cranes
Luka Koper recently inked a contract for the supply of two shore-to-ship cranes which will be installed in the new, extended part of the Container Terminal in the Adriatic port. Consignation and installation are anticipated in the last quarter of 2022.
The technical characteristics of the cranes are practically identical to the last two cranes which were installed in April 2017. Owing to their reach, which enables cargo handling on ships 24 containers wide, the super post-panamax cranes allow work on the current ULCV.
The purchase of the cranes is part of the ten-year project which includes the extension of Pier I and purchase of the relevant equipment. This will increase the terminal’s annual capacity to 1.3 million container units (teu) and, with additional improvements in work processes, to one and a half million teu. (cd)
