CPV eyes buying 7 new harbor cranes by 2015

JSC Commercial Sea Port of Vladivostok (CPV) plans to purchase in a period until 2015 seven new harbor and container cranes, CPV’s CEO Vyacheslav Pertsev said in a recent interview with PortNews.

Over the past 9 years, CPV has upgraded 10 harbor cranes and bought 12 new pieces of equipment: mobile cranes, fixed harbor cranes, container cranes. Currently, the CPV’s fleet of 60 cranes is the most powerful among the Far Eastern ports. The company has a unique opportunity for simultaneous lifting of cargo weighing up to 200 tons with portal fixed and mobile cranes.

“I emphasize that CPV purchases just new equipment. Over the past two years, CPV’s cranes fleet was replenished by a Gottwald Portal Harbor Crane, of lifting capacity of 100 tons, and by two Sennebogen manipulators. The next year we expect to take delivery of two Liebherr container cranes,” Mr. Pertsev was quoted as saying.
