The new Liebherr LHM600 Mobile Harbour crane is a powerful and effective crane for handling containers.

The new acquisition, which brings the total number of mobile Harbour Cranes at the terminal to five, effectively consolidates the position of WACT as the best-equipped terminal in the eastern ports.

In addition to the Mobile Harbour Cranes, the terminal also has 18 Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) cranes and several other container handling equipment.

The managing director of WACT, Naved Zafar, who received the new Mobile Harbour Crane alongside the deputy managing director and head of Country Projects, Jeethu Jose, and other senior management staff of the company, said the new crane was acquired as part of a fresh investment of $112 million by APM Terminals to upgrade and expand the terminal.
