Spanish extension
Kalmar has been commissioned by the Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries Co Ltd (ZPMC) to increase the operating height of four ship to shore (STS) cranes for APM Terminals Algeciras in southern Spain.
The project has started in June of this year, with the cranes returning to full operation this month.
The STS cranes, originally provided by ZPMC, will each have their height increased by 5.8m by Kalmar. This will provide APM Terminals considerable extra capacity to handle the new Triple-E vessels arriving at the port. The modifications will be undertaken by Kalmar’s specialist crane services team located in Algeciras, Spain, which has developed innovative systems to handle this highly technical procedure.
