30 ZPMC cranes for Liverpool2
Peel Ports Group has awarded a multi-million pound contract to Shanghai-based Zhenhua Heavy Industries Co (ZPMC) to supply mega container cranes for its new Liverpool2 development.
An initial order for five ship-to-shore (STS) mega-max quay cranes and 12 cantilever rail-mounted gantry cranes (CRMGs) has been placed with the Chinese manufacturer for Phase 1 of the development; a further three STS cranes and 10 CMRGs will be supplied for Phase 2, providing an ultimate capacity of over 1m teu
According to Peel Ports, the £300m (US$505m) investment programme to expand and develop the existing Port of Liverpool will see Liverpool2 become the UK’s largest transatlantic deep-sea port and container terminal. Once completed in late 2015, it will be able to accommodate most of the world’s current fleet of container vessel types, offering shipping lines a unique opportunity to connect ships of up to 13,500 teu directly to the heart of the UK.
