North Sea Terminal Bremerhaven receives four Liebherr STS cranes

North Sea Terminal Bremerhaven (NTB) has taken delivery of four additional Liebherr ship-to-shore (STS) container cranes, bringing the number of such units at the terminal to ten.

The cranes, which are identical to the previous supplied, are amongst the largest STS cranes in the world with an outreach of 73 m, a span of 30.48 m and a backreach of 25 m.

Designed to work vessels with 25 containers across and up to 10 high on deck, the cranes have a safe working load of 75 tonnes and will enable NTB to handle future generations of ultra large container vessels.
