Manaus wants more
Super Terminais Comercio e Industria (Super Terminais), a private cargo terminal at the Port of Manaus, Brazil, has ordered three Konecranes Gottwald cranes to serve large container vessels.
A river port located at the confluence of the Amazon River and the Rio Negro in the heart of Brazil, the Port of Manaus is an important hub for the entire upper Amazon basin.
Super Terminais has been operating here for 25 years. The new cranes will be installed on their new floating pier, which was built specially to accommodate a recent influx of larger vessels coming down the Amazon River.
The cranes will be mounted in a row on pedestals instead of on wheels or tracks. With a maximum radius of 64 m, they can service vessels up to super-post-Panamax class, with fully laden containers up to the 22nd row. Their maximum lifting capacity is 125 t. (cd)
