en.Wedoany.com Reported - U.S. maritime company Tradepoint Atlantic has ordered seven Liebherr ship-to-shore (STS) cranes for the Sparrows Point Container Terminal in Baltimore, Maryland. These cranes feature an outreach of 70 meters, a backreach of 25 meters, and a lift height of 51 meters, enabling them to serve the widest vessels currently in operation and accommodate further increases in vessel size. This order brings the total number of STS cranes sold by Liebherr in the U.S. since 2020 to 27.

These cranes will also support the redevelopment of the 168-acre terminal at the former Bethlehem Steel site. According to Tradepoint Atlantic, the project is expected to increase the container handling capacity of the Port of Baltimore by approximately 70%. The Sparrows Point development is described as one of the largest privately financed container terminal projects in the U.S., with an investment of about $1.2 billion.

Declan O'Sullivan, Managing Director of Container Crane Sales at Liebherr, stated that this is a milestone project for both the customer and Liebherr, reflecting the scale and ambition of the investment behind Sparrows Point and reinforcing Liebherr's ability to deliver high-performance crane solutions for major global terminal development projects.
