Gottwald Port Technology, a subsidiary of Demag Cranes, has recently secured two orders for the delivery of three mobile harbour cranes to South Korea.
Ssangyong Engineering and Construction has ordered two more Generation 4
Cranes – one HMK 170 E and one HMK 260 E – while Dongbu Express has acquired its third Generation 5, Model 4, G HMK 4306 B four-rope grab crane for professional bulk handling.
The two Generation 4 mobile harbour cranes for Ssangyong Engineering and Construction are scheduled to start commercial operation in summer 2011 at the Port of Gunsan. The 63-tonne HMK 170 E crane and the 100-tonne HMK 260 E crane will increase the terminal's capacities in handling general cargo.
The new order brings to five the total number of cranes ordered by Ssangyong from
Gottwald. Two HMK 170 E machines and one HMK 260 E have been in operation at the Port of Incheon since 2008.
