Tandem lift quay cranes for DP World Southampton
The quay cranes, weighing more than 2,000 tonnes each and standing nearly 150 metres arrived fully constructed by sea and will be offloaded directly onto the Southampton container terminal quayside.
THIS IS the first of two pairs of quay cranes set to arrive in Southampton in 2026, with a second pair due to arrive later this year, bringing the total number of cranes servicing the port to sixteen.
The cranes are able to service the largest container ships currently in operation, including 24,000 TEU megaships, as well as future larger vessels not yet built.
The units are capable of consecutive ‘tandem lifts’ of two 40ft containers at once.
