Urban Häggkvist, Terminal Manager at SCA, said: “We expect particularly high growth rates in the container business.
“That is why we have also moved the container activities to the Korstabäcks quay of the SCA terminal, where it is possible to moor much larger container vessels than before.
“In order to be equipped for growth, we are relying on high-performance Terex Gottwald mobile harbour crane technology.

“The new crane is an investment in the future for us and part of a comprehensive integrated concept, with which we plan to become faster, more productive and more flexible at our terminal in Sundsvall.”
Hans-Juergen Schneider, Regional Sales Manager at TPS, said: “We are delighted that our range in all its variety has also impressed terminal operators in the Baltic region.
“The market here is very demanding, and customer requirements are correspondingly diverse. It is therefore no coincidence that we have recently been successful in the region with many models from our medium-sized and large crane family.
“The fact that both existing and new customers are choosing our proven technology is also undoubtedly a success of our customer-oriented innovation strategy, which results in a diverse product range.
Schneider concluded: “A range that has of late also impressed terminal operators in other parts of northern Europe, such as Norway and Iceland.”
