The cranes for MSC Gate Bremerhaven will be the latest in a long line of STS cranes delivered to the Hamburg/Bremerhaven region and will mark the 22nd and 23rd crane delivered since the start of 2017 when the first two of STS cranes were delivered to HHLA Container Terminal Tollerort, Hamburg.

Gerry Bunyan, Sales and Marketing Manager, Liebherr Container Cranes, said it is another sign of Liebherr’s growing presence in some of Europe’s biggest ports.

“Recent years have seen Liebherr establish and grow our presence at a number of different ports and terminals in the North Sea,” he said.

Liebherr Container Cranes takes great pride in building long-term, mutually beneficial partnerships with our customers we look forward to building on our recent successes in the region.”
