This video depicts Happy Sky delivering two large STS container cranes from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, to Vigo, Spain. Until 2015, the container cranes served the then Home Terminal of container handling company ECT in Rotterdam. The cranes were sold to Davila Group and will be operated on the Termavi container terminal in Vigo.
The cranes’ enormous sizes and their large weights required extra attention in an extensive trail of preparation. As cranes are not designed to be transported by sea, it was necessary to reinforce them to withstand the accelerations and forces occurring during the sea voyage. A total of 80 mt additional steel was fitted in each crane to strengthen it.
With the discharge operation successful completed, the two STS cranes will serve the port of Vigo for many years to come.
