Port of Bronka progressing well
The deepwater Port of Bronka on the outskirts of St. Petersburg, Russia is nearing completion. With the Liebherr LHM 800 mobile port crane installed at the end of September, technical plant and equipment for the first stage of Bronka’s port facilities is now complete.
The cargo handling operation currently has 4 Liebherr STS P167 L (WS) container gantry cranes and 10 RTG cranes built by Konecranes of Finland. The cranes have a stacking height of one-over-five standard containers, can reach over a stack width of six containers plus discharge and load rail tracks and have a lifting capacity of 50 tons beneath the spreader. The high-performance container gantry cranes with a boom reach of 51 metres are capable of discharging or loading 18 adjacent containers on deck.
