Port of Koper orders super post-panamax cranes

The operator of the Port of Koper, Luka Koper has signed a contract for the supply of two shore-to-ship cranes which will be installed in the new, extended part of the port’s container terminal.

The consignation and installation of the new machines are anticipated in the fourth quarter of the next year. Additionally, the technical characteristics of the cranes are practically identical to the last two cranes which were installed in April 2017.

[s2If is_user_logged_in()]Owing to their reach, which enables cargo handling on ships 24 containers wide, the super post-panamax cranes allow work even on the largest container ships.

Luka Koper said that the purchase of the cranes is part of the company’s crucial project, which includes the extension of Pier I and the purchase of the relevant equipment.

This is expected to increase the terminal’s annual capacity to 1.3 million TEU with additional improvements in work processes to 1.5 million TEU. The investments will also increase the terminal’s productivity and competitiveness, with the aim of maintaining our dominance among Adriatic ports in the future.
