Four mobile harbour cranes for the Port of Salalah

The Port of Salalah in the Sultanate of Oman, has recently ordered four Generation 5 G HMK 6407 Mobile Harbour Cranes from Gottwald Port Technology for its container terminal.

The order was as a part of its port expansion program. The Port of Salalah is one of the world's largest container terminals. The first two units will be delivered at the end of June, and the remaining two at the end of July. With lifting capacities of up to 100 tonnes each and equipped with twinlift spreaders, the cranes will be used for serving container ships up to the Post-Panamax class. The four G HMK 6407 cranes will be the first Gottwald cranes to be delivered to Oman. In the course of the port development, Salalah Port Services initially intends to increase its annual capacity to approximately 4.5 million TEU. "With the G HMK 6407 cranes from Gottwald, we are ideally equipped for the ambitious development plans for our container terminal," said Gary Lemke, CEO of Salalah Port Services.
