Nigerian Port Orders Two Konecranes Gottwald Mobile Harbor Cranes

Konecranes will deliver two eco-efficient Konecranes Gottwald Model 7 Mobile Harbor Cranes to Tincan Island Container Terminal Limited (TICT) in Lagos, Nigeria. The new cranes will be operated by TICT in the Tincan area of the Port of Lagos, where they will handle containers alongside a fleet comprising of six Model 4, two Model 6 and two other Model 7 Konecranes Gottwald Mobile Harbor Cranes already on-site.

Longtime customer TICT, a subsidiary of Bolloré Transport & Logistics (Bolloré), the largest transport and logistics operator in Africa, placed the order in anticipation of expanded container traffic in 2021 and beyond. The new cranes, which will be delivered in August 2021, will also allow TICT to accommodate larger vessels.

“Liner requirements are constantly evolving, increasingly requiring higher performance cranes with flexibility in cargo handling and twin-lift container operation as larger ships call more frequently at our Port. Our experience with Konecranes equipment has always been excellent. We are pleased to add two more of the Model 7 cranes to our facility,” said Etienne Rocher, Managing Director of TICT.
