Kribi Container Terminal (KCT), strengthens its capabilities with a new mobile crane
On Tuesday, April 13, 2021, Kribi Container Terminal (KCT), the concessionaire of the Kribi Container Terminal, received a new mobile crane for ship handling operations.
The acquisition of this mobile crane allows the concessionaire to strengthen its dock-handling capacity and participates in the KCT’s investment plan, which also provides for the arrival of five new RTG yard gantries in 2021.
With a lifting capacity of 100 tons, this wheel-mounted Gottwald 8412 crane, is able to handle two 20 feet containers at the same time. It has a projection capacity extends to the 20th row of containers on board ships, where it can lift 41 tonnes.
With an efficiency similar to a dock gantry, this mobile crane offers a productivity of +/- 25 container movements. It will reduce by 30 to 35% the ship visit time by improving the quality of service provided to shipowners and economic operators in Cameroon, Chad and the Central African Republic.
