Malta cranes cater for big boys
Malta Freeport Terminals has taken delivery of four new super postpanamax quayside cranes to keep up with demands of ever-larger containerships.
The ZPMC cranes, with a capability of handling containerships stacking 24 containers, were transported from Shanghai to Malta on a dedicated barge. Meanwhile, ZMPC has also delivered the largest container cranes in northern Europe to Göteborg. With a maximum over-water height of 118 m,the three cranes will be the tallest constructions in Göteborg.
Adapted for the new generation of boxships, the cranes will contribute to improving logistics efficiency for Swedish trade and industry and the Port of Göteborg will consolidate its position as the base port for northern Europe.
