Liebherr Wins Large Gantry Crane Order From Japanese Shipbuilder Liebherr-Werk Nenzing, Austria, recently received a large ships gan- try crane order from Japanese ship- builder Tsuneishi. The order, for three plus one multipurpose con- tainer-handling, jib-type gantry cranes of Liebherr's well-known type MPS with lifting capacities of 45 tons, underlines this maker's ex- pertise in the field. The portal cranes will be installed on three container feeder vessels of 950-TEU capacity, contracted be- tween A.P. Moeller and the ship- yard. This latest order for Liebherr fol- lows other recent contracts for six type CCB gantry cranes, delivered to the Danish shipyard Odense for USA owner Crowley, and a further four CCB gantries supplied to Ital- ian Fincantieri shipyard in Trieste, again for an American owner, name- ly Castle & Cook. The current work load in Lieb- herr's Nenzing factory includes 48 high-speed deck cranes of seven tons capacity, a special design de- nominated BW to be installed in 12 reefers presently under construction at the Kleven yard in Norway for a consortium of Scandinavian owners. Further orders for the high-capacity BW cranes are presently being exe- cuted, including six 25 toners and 40 of 50 tons capacity. On the offshore crane side, a con- siderable number of cranes for the British, Norwegian and Dutch sec- tors of the North Sea are in hand, not only in Nenzing but also in Liebherr's newest setup in Sunder- land, where production started at the beginning of this year.
