New US$4m mobile harbour crane for Port of Progreso

APM Terminals (APMT) Yucatán has commissioned a US$4m mobile harbour crane (MHC) that, once fully implemented, should increase operational efficiency by around 40%.

The Terex 5506, which measures 36 m high, has a 51-m boom and a 125 tonne lifting capacity, arrived at the Port of Progreso, Mexico, on the BBC Switzerland.

Martijn Koolen, general director of APMT Progreso, said: “We are excited to receive the new crane, which is considered the best port equipment in its class.”
