DCT Gdansk receives 14th Liebherr ship-to-shore crane to handle large vessels

DCT Gdansk has received its third Liebherr ship-to-shore (STS) crane capable of handling the port’s largest vessels such as the 23,000 teu MSC Gülsün which recently docked at the facility.

The new crane is identical to two previous cranes Liebherr supplied to DCT earlier in 2019, with an outreach of 72 m, a back reach of 15 m and a lift height over rail of 50 m.

Each crane is capable of handling vessels with 25 rows of containers across deck and, along with five previously installed Liebherr STS cranes, provide eight ultra-large container cranes capable of handling the larger vessels.
