Demag Cranes supplies floating cranes
Gottwald Port Technology GmbH (Gottwald), has been awarded a contract to supply two more Floating Cranes to St. James Stevedoring Partners, Llc, Louisiana, USA, which will already enter service on the Mississippi River in the autumn of this year. The customer already operates six Gottwald floating cranes. Instead of the conventional rubber-tyred chassis that Mobile Harbour Cranes are usually installed on, the Floating Cranes are mounted on barges. "With our two new Gottwald Floating Cranes, we aim to achieve a flexible increase in our cargo handling capacities and usefully extend our existing logistics," states Paul E. Morton, President, St. James Stevedoring Partners.
