Paceco España has signed a contract with Guadeloupe Port Caraïbes for the supply of a Post-Panamax Portainer STS crane with a maximum lift capacity of 60 tons that can operate under the high wind conditions of the Caribbean.
The delivery will take place in 2018 for Port de Jarry container handling terminal, where the insular region of France serves as crossing point for shipping routes from Europe, America and Asia, located between the Caribbean and North Atlantic Sea.
