Port Vostochny builds up its handling equipment fleet

Vostochny Port OJSC, a Universal-cargo handling complex has put into operation two SENNEBOGEN powerful wheeled cranes, PortNews IAA reports citing the Port Authority. The equipment was purchased as part of the investment program of handling equipment upgrading. The new equipment has been installed in four days with the help of the firm’s specialists. These cranes will reduce the number of damages to gondolas usually caused during loading, unloading operations.
