New linkspan for Swedish port

TTS Port Equipment is about to start building a new linkspan for the port of Ystad in the south of Sweden, due for handover in March 2009. Ystad is a significant port in Sweden because of its ferry links to Poland and to the Danish island of Bornholm, which can’ t easily be reached directly from Denmark, especially by passenger traffic. The port is being developed and extended, and the installation of the new linkspan is one of several important developments within the first phase, Stage 1A, of the so called Baltic Basin project.
