The company's Container Terminal Wilhelmshaven (CTW) will receive two gantries alongside remote operator stations.

The cabinless, automated ship-to-shore (STS) cranes have a primary outreach of 73 m, a lift height of 54.5 m, a span of 30.48 m, and an operational backreach with a secondary trolley of 26 m.

"Designed for tandem operation, the primary trolley delivers containers automatically to the pinning platform. The containers rest on frames whilst the twist locks are removed. Once the pinning personnel leave the platform, they activate the secondary trolley, which automatically delivers the container to the land side AGVs [automated guided vehicles]," Liebherr Container Cranes explained in a press release.

Gerry Bunyan, Sales and Marketing Manager at Liebherr Container Cranes, added, "It is an honour for us at Liebherr to continue our partnership with Eurogate and to supply these important cranes to CTW. Eurogate has first-hand experience with Liebherr's ship-to-shore container cranes and has come to know and rely on the high-quality cranes and service that Liebherr provides. Our technical ability is well recognised, and we look forward to delivering state-of-the-art industry-leading STS cranes to CTW and seeing them play a key role in the terminal's future."
