Two Konecranes ship-to-shore cranes for Mozambique

CdM is a joint venture formed in 1998 by Rotterdam-based Cornelder Holding and Mozambique Ports & Railways Company. CdM manages the multipurpose container and general cargo terminals of the Port of Beira and is investing in both additional infrastructure and machinery to be able to cope with the expected regional growth.

“Adding two Konecranes STS cranes will increase the terminal capacity to 500.000 teu and this will ensure that CdM and the port of Beira will continue to be the main gateway to/from the world for DRC, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana for many years to come,” said Carlos Mesquita, CdM’s executive managing director.

The cranes have an outreach of 40 m and a lifting capacity of 65 tonnes under spreader. Designed to handle twin lift operation, they will be delivered to the terminal fully erected.
