The order was received in the first quarter of 2018 and is set to be commissioning in Genoa in June 2018.
The new crane will handle containers, general cargo and project cargo at the multi-purpose terminal – featuring a lifting capacity of 150 tonnes and an outreach of 54m.

The diesel/electric hybrid crane will be designed to use power from the ports grid in an energy-efficient way, reducing the cranes overall energy consumption and combating local exhaust emissions.
The newly commissioned crane is the second of TSG’s second Model 7 harbour crane – the first began operation in 2013.
