Compania de Puertos Asociados (Compas) has commissioned a Liebherr LHM 600 mobile harbour crane at its terminal in Cartagena, Colombia.
The LHM 600 is now the largest mobile harbour crane operating in the country.
The crane offers a lifting capacity of 104 tonnes and a maximum outreach of 61 metres.
It will support container operations at the Cartagena terminal, which handles up to 250,000 TEUs annually across four berths.
Compas said the investment will help accommodate larger vessels and changing cargo requirements without major infrastructure expansion.
The new crane strengthens the company’s capacity at its Caribbean gateway as Colombia’s foreign trade continues to grow.
Compas operates the country’s only multipurpose port network with terminals on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
