Nigeria’s 2 Biggest Harbour Cranes Arrive Onne Port For Operations
Two harbour cranes, described as the largest ever in Nigeria, have arrived Onne Port near Port Harcourt, Rivers State, South-South Nigeria.
The two cranes from Germany have already been deployed for duty, with port community excited that the biggest ships can now call at Onne in Nigeria and that the economy would gain much from expanded operations at the ports. The expectation is that the turn-around time of ships would come down with these monstrous cranes, according to port operators at Onne.
The feat was achieved by the Onne Multipurpose Terminal (OMT), subsidiary of Internation al Container Terminal Services Inc (ICTSI, just commissioned the two new mobile harbour cranes at the Federal Ocean Terminal (FOT) in Onne Port.

Each of the harbour cranes has capacity to deliver 25 teus of containers per hour and an outreach of 20 containers across. These mobile harbour cranes said to be the biggest ever deployed in a Nigerian port will set a new standard by allowing larger vessels than ever to call Nigerian ports.
