Conductix-Wampfler lands two major port contracts

Conductix-Wampfler’s UK managing director Alan Jones, said the first order with DP World Southampton will see the firm replacing cable carrier systems on three ship-to-shore cranes. Work will include pre-building festoons at the Salford site before shipping them to the south coast terminal for installation, which will also be undertaken by Conductix-Wampfler.

A further deal on the east coast will deliver a replacement heavy duty festoon system, one of the largest handled in the UK, for one of two coking grab cranes at the Humber Refinery. Repairs will also be carried out to the festoon system on a grab crane at the North East location.

“These latest contracts reinforce the firm’s ambition to secure more work in the port, marine and offshore renewable sectors. The work we are carrying out at DP World Southampton and the Humber Refinery will help to showcase the quality of our products. Our aim is to now forge greater links with other ports around the UK and build a reputation as a leading mobile energy specialist in this sector,” said Jones.
