New mobile cranes for ICTSI Syria

19 years ago

ICTSI subsidiary Tartous Inter-national Container Terminal has contracted manufacturer Liebherr for two new mobile harbour cranes, a first for Syria. Tradition-ally, container handling in the country has been undertaken by geared vessels.

The Port of Tartous is also the first port in Syria to introduce foreign expertise into its container handling operations.

The cranes each feature a 41 ton lifting capacity under the spreader, and the ability to service panamax dimension vessels with up to 13 rows of containers.
