The manufacturer's factory in Rostock has delivered two mobile harbour cranes of the LHM 550 type in container configuration, each offering a maximum outreach of 54 metres.

"Equipped with Pactronic [a hydraulic hybrid drive system that boosts crane performance by storing and re-using energy], the cranes are designed to improve energy efficiency during demanding handling cycles, while electric-drive readiness enables future retrofit should operational strategy require it. The machines also feature specially dimensioned supporting pads adapted to the berth structure, reflecting the importance of precise engineering integration at quayside," Liebherr Maritime Cranes underscored in a press release.

The new machinery also has extended warranty coverage for key components, metal structures, and paint systems.

The two LHM 550s have joined a pair of LHM 400s, used by the Baltic Container Terminal Gdynia (BCT Gdynia) for handling project cargo such as wind turbine components.

"These new cranes give us added flexibility exactly where it matters most: at the interface between vessel, terminal, and hinterland. They support our growth plans, fit our operational model, and strengthen our ability to serve customers with consistency as the terminal enters its next phase of development," commented Wojciech Szymulewicz, CEO, BCT Gdynia.

Andreas Müller, Managing Director of Liebherr-Rostock, also shared, "Our cooperation with Baltic Container Terminal Gdynia is built on many years of trust, technical dialogue, and shared standards in execution. Delivering this project on schedule and to the required specification is an important result in itself, and it also sends a clear signal about what strong partnerships can achieve when both sides work with consistency and long-term intent. We see this as a continuation of a successful relationship and as a sound basis for further projects in the years ahead."
