Konecranes will deliver two eco-efficient Konecranes Gottwald Model 7 Mobile Harbor Cranes with diesel-electric drives to Tincan Island Container Terminal Limited (TICT) in Lagos, Nigeria. They will be operated by TICT, a subsidiary of Bollor\u00e9 Transport & Logistics, in the Tincan area of the Port of Lagos, where increased container traffic in 2021 and beyond is anticipated.<\/p>\n
\u201cLiner requirements are constantly evolving, increasingly requiring higher performance cranes with flexibility in cargo handling and twin-lift container operation as larger ships call more frequently at our Port. Our experience with Konecranes equipment has always been excellent. We are pleased to add two more of the Model 7 cranes to our facility,\u201d said Etienne Rocher, MD of TICT.<\/p>\n
Lifting capacity of 100t<\/strong><\/p>\n The new cranes are Konecranes Gottwald Model 7 Mobile Harbor Cranes in the G HMK 7408 variant. With a maximum radius of 54 m, and a maximum lifting capacity of 100t, these cranes can service container ships up to super-post-Panamax class. They will have a customised propping base and double propping pads. The diesel-electric drive is made cost effective as the energy recovered during the crane\u2019s lowering and breaking motions is saved and made available to the crane\u2019s power grid for the next work cycle.<\/p>\n \u201cThese cranes will bring the size of the TICT Konecranes Gottwald Mobile Harbor Crane fleet to twelve, giving TICT the capacity to reduce vessel Port stay through improved operational efficiency,\u201d said Andreas Czwalinna, regional sales manager for Konecranes Port Solutions.<\/p>\n The cranes will be delivered in August 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Eco-efficient harbour cranes will enable a Nigerian container terminal to accommodate larger vessels and be more sustainable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":1391,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-1390","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-africa"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1390"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1390\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1392,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1390\/revisions\/1392"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1391"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1390"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1390"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=1390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
