The port crane order was received from the container terminal company ZAO First Container Terminal (FCT). The order is for two Panamax ship-to-shore (STS) container cranes which will be delivered in the summer of 2008. Konecranes received an order for similar cranes from FCT last year.
During the last few years, FCT, which is based in St Petersburg, has experienced substantial growth in container traffic. The cranes have a lifting capacity of 50t, outreach of 38m and are equipped with electrical controls.
The order also includes a two-year preventive maintenance contract for the cranes. The preventive service and technical support will be provided by ZAO Konecranes Russia, which is the leading port service provider in Russia, it said.
