Port of Guayaquil Expands its Capacities with Gottwald Mobile Harbour Cranes – Third G HMK 6407 for Contecon, Ecuador
Düsseldorf (Germany), September 17, 2010 – Contecon Guayaquil SA (CGSA), Ecuador, operator of the Guayaquil Container and Multipurpose Terminals (GCMT), has ordered a third G HMK 6407 Mobile Harbour Crane from Gottwald Port Technology GmbH (Gottwald). The Model 6 crane went into operation at the Port of Guayaquil in August 2010 and is used for handling containers.
CGSA is a subsidiary (operating unit) of International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI), Philippines, a leading port management company involved in the development and operation of ports and terminals around the globe, where numerous other Gottwald Mobile Harbour Cranes are in daily use.
Operational Improvements
“The port of Guayaquil is Ecuador's main international trading gateway. And the transition from public to private sector management and operation heralded a major new era of investment for the port,” said Gustavo Cercs, Engineering Director at CGSA. “ICTSI is investing heavily in facilities improvement and equipment and the first two new Gottwald Mobile Harbour Cranes, which were acquired immediately after the takeover of the port in 2007, allowed to establish efficient container operation in due time. Our experience with Gottwald has been exceptionally good, and this applies equally to technology, service and short delivery times,” Gustavo Cercs continued. “That’s why we have decided to rely on Gottwald again to further expand our capacities.”
Gottwald in Ecuador
The new order brings to eight the total number of Gottwald cranes sold to Ecuador since 1987, which makes the company market leader in Mobile Harbour Cranes in this Latin American country.
“Our business in Ecuador has been developing very satisfactorily in recent years,” enthused Rainer Buessing, Regional Product Manager at Gottwald. “On the one hand we have seen here that used cranes are the forerunner of new business. On the other hand the most recent orders confirm that we clearly meet all our customers' demands in terms of working speeds and radii, technical equipment and handling rates with our Generation 5 cranes,” he continued.
Model 6 – Gottwald's Current Bestseller
Gottwald's current bestseller, Model 6 of Generation 5, is a Harbour Crane for high-performance applications and high handling rates – assured by lifting capacities of up to 125 tonnes, working radii of up to 51 m and very high hoisting speeds of up to 120 m/min. The G HMK 6407 variant, chosen by ICTSI/CGSA for the Port of Guayaquil in Ecuador, has a lifting capacity of up to 100 tonnes and a working radius of up to 51 metres. Model 6 is the preferred choice for universal and special terminals servicing container vessels up to the Post-Panamax size and bulk carriers up to Capesize. The principle areas of application include high-end, high-speed container handling, also including twinlift mode and professional, continuous bulk handling. Model 6 is also well suited to terminals performing a significant number of heavy-load lifts.
