The Mantsinen 300M Hybrilift is currently being built in Finland, and will be the first to operate in England, following a delivery to Belfast in 2019.
Supplied by Cooper Specialised Handling Ltd, the UK’s leading independent port equipment supplier, the super-sized machine has the reach and capacity to serve panamax size vessels and can handle as much as 1,500 tonnes of bulks per hour – far greater than the rope crane equivalents.
