Kingston Wharves takes in Liebherr Maritime Crane, biggest in Caribbean
JAMAICA's Kingston Wharves recently received a Liebherr Maritime Crane, the biggest mobile harbour crane in the Caribbean, according to the company release.
The LHM 600 is equipped with an elongated tower extension and eases the handling of big container vessels up to super-postpanamax size, reported the American Journal of Transportation.
In November 2015, Kingston Wharves ordered the first Liebherr mobile harbour crane, type LHM 550 high rise version.
To further increase operation efficiency the company now ordered an even bigger Liebherr MHC, type LHM 600 high rise version, for their multi-purpose terminal in the Port of Kingston.
The new crane is equipped with an elongated tower extension that ensures high visibility into deep cargo holds. The 12 metres log extension enables highly efficient container handling with maximum safety due to the higher position of the tower cabin of 37 metres.
With a maximum outreach of 58 metres, twin lift capability and a lifting capacity of 104 tonnes, the LHM 600 is capable of servicing vessels up to 19 container rows wide and nine container stacks high.
"The LHM 600 starting operation in October will maximise our efficiencies, increase our responsiveness and ultimately meet our customer's demands," said Kingston Wharves CEO Grantley Stephenson.
