Liebherr for Liverpool

Manufactured by Liebherr in Killarney, Ireland and shipped across to Liverpool in knock down form, the components of the Panamax sized gantry crane were unloaded as three new straddle carriers went into service on the terminal.

The crane – the sixth purchased by the Port since the start of the new millennium, will have the capability to corner onto the Container Terminal’s Berth S6, creating a fourth deepsea berth and increasing operational capacity and flexibility.

One of the Container Terminal’s five established Liebherr gantries will also have access to Berth S6 after being adjusted to enable it to take the corner at the end of the main quay.
