A container gantry crane for the Gdansk Container Terminal13.04.2007 Next month, the arrival is expected of an enormous quayside container gantry crane ordered by the Gdansk Container Terminal operating company - Port of Gdansk Cargo Logistics Ltd. The gantry crane that is currently being shipped from Shanghai on board of the ship "Zhen Hua 20" was made by Shanghai Zhenhua Port Machinery Co. Ltd - world's biggest manufacturer of port cargo handling machinery and steel structures. The decision to purchase a gantry crane from China was made based on economic reasons as well as a short time of delivery. The crane is over 50 metres in height. While the water jib reach of the crane amounts to 38 metres, the quayside jib reach is 28 metres. The new gantry crane will add to the quality improvement of container services provided by the Gdansk Container Terminal and boost the throughput rates. |
