TTI Algeciras successfully finalises heightening works for first Malaccamax crane

Total Terminal International (TTI) Algeciras has finalised heightening operations for the first Malaccamax crane to come into service for the first week of October 2021.

The first Ship-to-Shore crane extension works began on 3 June.

The works consisted of increasing height from 43m to 52m, to able to operate up to twelve heights on deck – and in a 3m boom extension to reach beyond row 24 onboard vessels.

The conversion of these Super Post-Panamax cranes to Malaccamax will allow the semiautomated terminal to optimise the operations of the new giant containerships that operate on the transoceanic routes such as the M/V HMM Algeciras.

The expected delivery for the second heightened crane will be late December 2021
