Scheduled for delivery in Q1 2026, the crane is fully electric and designed to integrate seamlessly into the base\u2019s 1,060,000 sqm logistics network.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a strategic addition to our port,\u201d said Dag Eikeland, vice president of logistics at Saga Fjordbase.<\/p>\n
\u201cIts electric drive and energy optimisation features directly support our efforts to reduce emissions and improve quay turnaround times.\u201d<\/p>\n
Configured for electric operation, the LHM 280 includes a rotator for versatile cargo handling, an 84 tonne winch and 48 metre outreach, making it well-suited for the high-throughput demands of offshore platform supply chains. Notably, its integrated reactive power compensation unit helps stabilise voltage and improve grid efficiency by reducing energy loss.<\/p>\n
Saga Fjordbase has worked closely with Liebherr to ensure the crane meets the unique operational and environmental conditions on Norway\u2019s west coast.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis delivery reflects a shared understanding of what\u2019s needed in today\u2019s port operations,\u201d said Andreas Ritschel, general manager sales at Liebherr-Rostock.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve collaborated with Saga Fjordbase to deliver a solution that aligns with their long-term infrastructure goals.\u201d<\/p>\n
Part of a broader electrification strategy that includes digital tools like Saga Connect, the crane\u2019s deployment is expected to further reduce quay turnaround time \u2013 already improved by 30% \u2013 while reinforcing Saga Fjordbase\u2019s role as Norway\u2019s largest offshore supply base.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
