Last week, BigLift’s module carrier BigLift Baffin departed from Nantong, China, carrying four Konecranes Neo-Panamax ship-to-shore (STS) cranes for Georgia Ports Authority in Savannah, USA. With its cargo, the BigLift Baffin was the widest vessel (159 metres) that ever sailed the Yangtze River.
The impressive cranes, built at Nantong Wison Heavy Industries, have an outreach and lifting height adequate for 24,000 TEU vessels.
