Portals for Immingham

22 years ago

Gottwald has received an order for two HSK 360 EG four-rope grab portal harbour cranes for a new coal-handling facility from ABP at Immingham. The order is part of ABP’ s largestever investment in a terminal development: the £ 44.5m extension of the Humber International Terminal at Immingham with the creation of a new coal-handling facility and the construction of a second deepwater berth to serve the UK’ s electricitygenerating industry.

Kristiansand needed to be sure that the fendering would be suitable for the catamaran as well as the much larger ferries.

ABP travelled to Qinhuangdao to assess the suitability of the HSK 360 EGL which are used there to handle iron ore. These are the biggest HSK crane built by Gottwald having a lifting capacity of 50 tonnes at 40 metres. With handling rates of up to 1,500 tph, the cranes will feed a conveyor system which will transport the coal to the stocking ground with a stacker reclaimer.
