Brieda achieves certification for ergonomic seats and controls

Russia’s Commercial Seaport of Vladivostok (VMTP, part of FESCO Transportation Group – now state-owned through Rostam) is increasing its fleet of cargo handling equipment and upgrading its infrastructure.

Over the years, Gottwald has been very successful in supplying pontoon-mounted cranes for bulk cargo lightering and mid-stream barge-to-ship operations on the Lower Mississippi River.

The heavy lift/project cargo market is expected to post relatively strong rates of growth over the coming years and shipowners and operators are investing heavily in the sector.

Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding (Mitsui E&S) has received a substantial order for container handling equipment from the Port of Haiphong Joint Stock Company in Vietnam.

Siemens Crane Competence Center for the Europe Middle East and Africa region based in Portugal has now carried out modernisation and digitisation work on 100 port cranes in 13 countries. Currently the company is working on projects in the ports of Leixões and Setúbal, Portugal, Taranto (Italy) and Salalah (Oman).

The production of yard cranes in 2023 was in line with previous years, but the orderbook was much stronger than usual. As expected, ZPMC’s share of the RTG market continued to decline.
