Motherwell Bridge Industries, the mechanical and electrical engineering services company, has reached a major milestone with the installation of the 200th port container crane for leading Finnish crane builder Konecranes, a world-leading designer and manufacturer of sophisticated lifting equipment.
The 200th Konecranes container crane was erected in Semarang, a major port on the north coast of Java, Indonesia, late last month. It is the seventh crane to be completed of 11 Konecranes rubber-tyred gantry cranes (RTGs) which Motherwell Bridge Industries will install at this port by the end of April.
Motherwell Bridge Industries is currently completing the installation of a total of 25 Konecranes container cranes at major terminals in Asia, Europe, and West Africa, including 10 Konecranes electric RTGs at a rapidly developing port in Togo by mid-March. Four Konecranes RTGs were completed in Valencia, Spain, in January.
The Indonesia commission is a significant development for Motherwell Bridge Industries as it is the company’s first ever project in Asia.
Operating from a 15,240-square metre workshop in Malta’s Ħal Far industrial park, Motherwell Bridge is the engineering division of Hili Ventures.
