SeaPort Manatee and terminal operator Logistec USA Inc., a subsidiary of Logistec Corp., are further enhancing cargo-handling capabilities with the addition of two new Konecranes Gottwald Generation 6 mobile harbor cranes.

The pair of eco-efficient cranes arrived at SeaPort Manatee on April 22 via trans-Atlantic vessel voyage from their place of manufacture in Germany. Each of the cranes is capable of lifting loads of as many as 125 metric tons, and the two units combine to offer a tandem lift capability of more than 200 metric tons – the most at any Florida seaport.

The newly acquired Gottwald Generation 6 cranes accompany two Gottwald Generation 5 units and a versatile Liebherr mobile harbor crane in the lift equipment fleet serving SeaPort Manatee, which recently reported handling record cargo volumes in its first fiscal half, ended March 31.
