en.Wedoany.com Reported - The CSP Iberian Bilbao Terminal in Spain recently received a super-post-Panamax STS (ship-to-shore) crane (super-post-Panamax quayside container crane) to enhance the throughput capacity and operational efficiency of the Port of Bilbao. The equipment was transported to the terminal by the vessel "Zhenhua 31" and is scheduled to begin operations in June 2026.

The ship-to-shore crane, built by ZPMC (Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries), represents an investment of approximately 10 million euros and was procured in October 2024. The equipment has a maximum lifting capacity of 83 tons under the wire rope, supports twin-lift handling of 65 tons, can cover 20 rows of containers, has a lifting height of 56 meters, and a total weight of about 1,300 tons. It is equipped with an anti-collision system and operation-assist cameras to ensure safe operations.

This investment aligns with the long-term plan to extend the terminal's concession until 2049. Previously, the terminal invested 12.6 million euros in 2023 to procure six hybrid RTG cranes to improve yard operations. CSP stated that the new ship-to-shore crane strengthens the terminal's position in the Atlantic region, supporting connections between major ports in Southern and Northern Europe through intermodal solutions.
