“With this significant investment and the introduction of the new asset into operation, we are entering a new period of our company’s business, in which the consequences of the natural disaster of 2 July 2024, when three loading bridges and a loading tower for grain on the Volujica Coast were damaged, will be significantly reduced and overcome,” the port said in a released statement.
“The new Liebherr LHM550 mobile port crane has also been delivered and will be put into operation at the moment we start implementing a new job – coal transhipment for the needs of EPS, and it will also be available to us for new business arrangements for which negotiations are underway.”
