Dry bulk handling on the open sea
Due to the restricted space in harbour areas, operations are more frequently being moved to the open sea especially for dry bulk handling. Floating cranes from Liebherr comprise a range of powerful equipment for dry bulk handling on the open sea for vessels up to Capasize. Even cranes for ocean-going barges and pontoons are included in the comprehensive product portfolio for operation on the open sea.
