en.Wedoany.com Reported - CSP Iberian Bilbao Terminal has commissioned a new super post-Panamax STS crane at the Port of Bilbao, with an investment of €9.5 million, making it the largest STS crane in the Atlantic Arc.

The new crane will enhance the terminal's capacity to handle larger container vessels and improve operational efficiency. It joins two existing super post-Panamax STS cranes already operating at the terminal. CSP stated that the new crane will help reduce vessel turnaround times and strengthen the competitiveness of the Port of Bilbao.

The crane features advanced automation technology, anti-collision systems, and onboard cameras to enhance safety and operational precision. It is also equipped with energy-saving technologies and an energy recovery system that feeds power back into the grid, helping to reduce emissions. Its outreach can reach up to 20 rows of containers, with a lift height of 56 meters and a twin-spreader capacity of 65 tons. The maximum lifting capacity under the hook reaches 83 tons, enabling it to handle heavy and oversized cargo.

This investment is part of CSP Spain's long-term modernization plan. Over the past decade, the company has invested more than €26 million in the Bilbao terminal.

CSP stated that the new crane enhances its ability to handle hub services and large vessels operating on Atlantic trade routes. In 2025, the Port of Bilbao handled approximately 4.8 million tons of containerized cargo and around 424,000 TEUs.
