New Post-Panamax cranes

South Australia's container terminal operator, Flinders Adelaide Container Terminal, has welcomed the arrival of two new Post-Panamax Liebherr cranes as part of the terminal's strategic plan. The ship-to-shore cranes, ordered in January 2014, are 65 metres high and capable of reaching heights of 105 metres with the boom raised. They represent a $24 million investment for Flinders Adelaide Container Terminal, and are due to be deployed for active service in April 2015 following a rigorous commissioning process. It is expected that vessel turn-around times at the facility will ultimately become up to 25% faster than at present due to the new cranes.
