Liebherr's ship crane department has celebrated its cooperation with Damen Shipyards Group after recieving its 110th order with the maritime conglomerate.
The historical purchase is for a Liebherr floating crane type CBG 350 that will be used on a transshipment crane barge built by Damen.
This year also marks other important successes for both companies in the maritime sector.
Damen has reached its ninth decade of operations in the shipbuilding industry and Liebherr Maritime recently reported that it has amassed more than 50 deliveries of reachstacker and mobile harbour cranes to the Port of Antwerp in the past 25 years.
