Boost for bulk in Port of Ghent

[ November 29, 2024   //   ]

Euroports Group is to strengthen its bulk handling capacity at North Sea Port (Ghent) with a Konecranes Gottwald ESP.7B Mobile Harbor Crane, expected to be delivered in early 2025.

The 3,500-hectare Port of Ghent handles a wide variety of cargo, including bulk, breakbulk, and containers. Euroports operates across multiple locations within North Sea Port, including the All Weather Terminal (AWT), which offers climate-controlled warehousing and covered loading areas. The new crane will be stationed at Terminal 850 (Sifferdok), enhancing Euroports’ ability to serve the agribulk and fertiliser markets.

It can handle bulk carriers up to Panamax class and its maximum lifting capacity of 125 tonnes allows it to handle heavy project cargo as well.
