Puerto Coronel to invest US$30m in new cranes

Chile’s Puerto Coronel will add two new container gantry cranes in 2019, aiming to go from moving 85 to 120 containers per hour.

The US$30m will cover the cost of the ZPMC cranes, which will be able to serve super post-Panamax ships, as well as the construction of associated infrastructure.

The cranes have a range of 65 m, equivalent to 23 rows of containers, a load capacity under spreader of 65 tonnes and load under hook of 75 tonnes, besides a load height on rails of 50 m.
