Liebherr's site in Rostock has delivered a mobile harbour crane of the LHM 600 type to the Port of Cartagena to handle containers at Compania de Puertos Asociados' Compas Cartagena terminal.
The machinery offers a lifting capacity of 104 tonnes and a maximum outreach of 61 metres. The crane can also perform twin-lift operations.
"At Compas Cartagena, where four berths support container, bulk, refrigerated, and project cargo alongside one another, operational sequencing is critical. The LHM 600 adds a layer of planning certainty by allowing higher-capacity container moves to be scheduled without disrupting parallel cargo flows. This supports more consistent berth utilisation and aligns crane performance with the terminal's digital operating systems and inspection infrastructure," Liebherr Maritime Cranes highlighted in a press release.
Andreas Ritschel, General Manager Sales Mobile Harbour Cranes at Liebherr-Rostock, added, "Our objective is to deliver equipment that integrates into complex port environments and supports steady, long-term performance. In Cartagena, this means enabling flexible container handling while respecting the operational realities of a multipurpose terminal."
