Stockholm Norvik Port receives super post-Panamax cranes

The two largest container cranes in the Baltic Sea are now in place at Sweden’s newest freight port, adapted to handle the largest vessels operating in the region.

The super post-Panamax cranes, which were built in Shanghai with electrical and control systems supplied by ABB in Sweden, have been moved to their locations at Stockholm Norvik Port.

The port will open in May and its container terminal will be run by Hutchison Ports, which is looking to take advantage of the crane capacity, the close proximity to major fairways and the range of options for onward transport by haulage vehicle, train or barge.
