Where are the purpose Gantry cranes that will service the vessel to ensure quick turn around time?

All i see are two cranes that appear not really fit for the occasion due to maximum reach.

1. Onne seaport is home to the largest crane in Africa, a 600 tonnes Liebherr crane.




INTELS acquires N1.8 billion largest crane in Africa

INTELS Nigeria Limited, has acquired one of the largest port handling cranes in the world – a 600 tonnes Liebherr crane worth $6 million (N1.83 billion).

The crane, which has been deployed at the Onne Oil and Gas Free Zone, is the largest at any port facility in Africa.

This means that the movement of very heavy equipment has become even much easier than ever before at the Onne Free Zone.

Konecranes wins order for 20 RTG cranes in Nigeria


Konecranes has won an order for 20 RTG cranes from APMT’s West Africa Container Terminal in East Nigeria. The order was booked in two parts, the first in December 2019 and the second in January 2020. Delivery is scheduled for Q4 2020 – Q2 2021.

APMT’s West Africa Container Terminal (WACT) is located in Onne Port, part of the Onne Oil and Gas Free Zone in Nigeria. It was one of the first container terminals to be built in Nigeria under public/private ownership. It offers excellent hinterland connections to the rest of Nigeria. The WACT is upgrading its container handling operation from reach stackers to RTGs to achieve greater stacking density, throughput and productivity.

The Konecranes RTGs on order are diesel-driven, 16-wheel machines stacking 1-over-5 high and 7 containers + truck lane wide. They are equipped with Active Load Control, Auto-steering and Auto-TOS reporting.

South South must be open at all cost. The brown roof people won't like this.

LegendHero:
Nice one.

This will lift a heavy burden from Lagos and the people that always chant that Lagos is what it is only because of the seaport can actually create a bigger Lagos in their region with this feat.

Nice one APC, Buhari, Amaechi, and Hadiza.

hisgrace090:
Give honour to whom it's due!

LegendHero:
Who should that have been? If I miss him, I will definitely add him to the list.

kolaaderin:
You better thank Buhari for this fit. Lagos is happy to have this happening, Apapa can breath again from disastrous congestion caused by years of negligence of PDP and their silly supporters.

Managing Director @hadizabalausman earlier today was in Lagos Port Complex, Apapa to commission two new Mobile Harbor Cranes (MHCs) acquired by one of the terminal operators, A.P. Moller Terminals (APMT).

Yoruba is your nightmare, OK oh, who cares about your wretched life? Are we your Governors that exchange your destiny with kerosene and wheelbarrow?

Oh boy....., this is going to affect Eko Atlantic. All the projections & calculations figured into the project will have to be recalculated. ( Remember, its private sector investment with the expected rate of return on investment base on time value of money. Decongestion of Lagos port can translate into overall lost of revenue for the state)

A redirection of Igbo's economic dynamism in Lagos + the kicking off, of Africa continental free trade area by the first of January 2021 is economically not a good news for the SW period.
