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.<\/p>\n<p>The engineers of both <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bigliftshipping.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BigLift<\/a> and client <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grupoaltius.com\/index.php\/home-3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Altius S.A.<\/a> meticulously prepared for this move with its many challenges. The cranes\u2019 enormous sizes and their large weights required extra attention in an extensive trail of preparation. The cranes are over 60 m high, 86 m wide and 15,25 m between rails. During transport they had an overhang of no less than 58 m in total \u2013 40 m on port side and 18 m on starboard side. The weight of each crane is well over 800 mt.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/slq3c01BoNE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>As the cranes\u2019 centre of gravity is very high, the lifting operation required cranes with a sufficient lifting height. Happy Sky\u2019s two 900 mt Heavy Lift Mast Cranes offer this quality, making her very suitable for the job. Furthermore, her excellent stability enables such loading and discharge operations to be achieved without the need for stability pontoons.<\/p>\n<p>In order to spread the forces on the vessel\u2019s deck load spreaders were positioned on the weather deck. After lifting the first container crane on board it was skidded over pre-installed rails to its stowage position aft. The vessel\u2019s cranes positioned the second container crane directly in its stowage position.<\/p>\n<p>With the discharge operation successful completed, we trust the two STS cranes will serve the port of Vigo\u00a0for\u00a0many years to come.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9128 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cranemarket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Big-Lift-Shipping.jpg\" alt=\"Big-Lift-Shipping\" width=\"266\" height=\"100\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In September 2016 mv Happy Sky has has transported two large STS container cranes from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, to Vigo, Spain.
