Vladivostok expanding
NewsRussia’s Commercial Seaport of Vladivostok (VMTP, part of FESCO Transportation Group – now state-owned through Rostam) is increasing its fleet of cargo handling equipment and upgrading its infrastructure.
Liebherr for Teesport
Teesport has taken delivery of two electrically powered (electric over hydraulic) rail-mounted portal cranes from Liebherr, representing an investment of £8.6M by PD Ports.
The cranes are the LPS 550 model. This is the same as the LHM 550 – Liebherr’s most popular mobile harbour crane – from the slew ring upwards, and the portal is adaptable to the crane rail span at the customer’s terminal.
They have been supplied in four-rope configuration for bulk handling operations at Teesport Bulks Terminal, which was opened in 2020.
Frans Calje, CEO of PD Ports, said: “I am delighted to see the new cranes in operation at Tees Dock. As a business, we are committed to driving positive change and building a more sustainable future. This investment signifies that, whilst also ensuring we can uphold the highest operating standards.”
