BULK MATERIALS HANDLING
Two Terex® Gottwald Mobile Harbour Cranes for St. Peter Port, Guernsey
Turnkey package includes demolition of existing cranes
Terex Port Solutions has delivered and commissioned a Terex® Gottwald HMK 170 E Mobile Harbour Crane to St. Peter Port Harbour in Guernsey, UK. This represents the first phase of the project, with another HMK 170 E crane scheduled for delivery during November 2013.
Cranes will handle 50,000 t of container freight per year With 98 % of Guernsey’s imports and exports passing through St. Peter Port, the harbour is currently undergoing a £13.75 m refurbishment of its freight handling facilities. The modernisation includes the replacement of four existing cranes with two Terex Gottwald cranes, which will handle 50,000 t of container freight per year. The 63 t configuration Terex Gottwald
HMK 170 E Mobile Harbour Cranes have a radius of 38 m and feature self-powered diesel generators. For increased efficiency and to avoid exhaust emissions within the port, the cranes are hooked up to 11 kV electrical shore supply power connections. The recently delivered crane was manufactured at Terex Port Solutions’
production facility in Düsseldorf and transported to Antwerp, Belgium, for transfer by barge to St. Peter Port, Guernsey. The second crane, to be supplied during phase two of the project, will follow the same route.
Demolition of existing cranes Terex Port Solutions was also responsible for the demolition of a quayside portal crane and a 32 t quayside scotch derrick crane, as well as civil reinstatement. During phase two of the project, the company will demolish two more cranes. St. Peter Port’s Harbour Master, Captain
Peter Gill, reported that Terex Port Solutions had provided the least cost, technically acceptable proposal as part of the open tender process. “When fully operational, the two Terex Gottwald Mobile Harbour Cranes will be doing the work of the four former cranes, with obvious benefits in terms of the utilisation of available space and operational efficiency.” He added, “The transfer of the crane from the barge to the quayside was carried out during a limited window of opportunity, dictated by the 10 m tidal rise and fall, which we experience at the harbour. The delivery and commissioning processes were carried out in a thoroughly professional manner.” Recently appointed Terex Port Solutions’ UK Director Alex Stogianidis stated, “Our ability to provide technology led port solutions, backed by turnkey engineering and logistics packages, place us in a strong position to continue to win significant high profile contracts, reinforcing our position as a market leader.”
