Marsa Maroc's bulk cargo port operations in Casablanca will be strengthened with a rail-mounted portal slewing crane, manufactured by Liebherr at its Rostock site.

The electric-drive LPS 550 model offers a 48-metre boom. The machinery joins three mobile harbour cranes of the LHM 550 design that joined Marsa Maroc's fleet in 2024.

"Marsa Maroc already operates Liebherr cranes at several locations, and the addition of an LPS 550 further broadens that relationship. For us, this project is particularly noteworthy because it introduces a new Liebherr crane type into an established fleet, demonstrating how different products from our maritime portfolio can be matched to specific terminal requirements," underscored Andreas Ritschel, General Manager Sales Mobile Harbour Cranes at Liebherr-Rostock.

The manufacturer added in a press briefing, "Marsa Maroc's investment programme extends beyond Casablanca, with additional Liebherr cranes scheduled for delivery to terminals in Nador and Tangier."
