Corporación Navios replaces harbour crane with new Liebherr model

Uruguayan company Corporación Navios has replaced a Liebherr long duty cycle crane with a permanently installed harbour crane type FCC 300 for dry bulk handling of barges in hoppers at the terminal in Nueva Palmira.

The now total of three harbour cranes is expected to increase the terminal’s handling rates and generate operating synergies, as the crane operators will work with the same type of crane on all operations.

The terminal has a narrow pier, making the Fixed Cargo Cranes (FCC) series an appealing option according to Liebherr due to their safe-saving design and duty cycle of more than 100,000 operating hours.
