“Liebherr are delighted to announce the supply of this STS crane to Exolgan Container Terminal,” said Liebherr’s sales and marketing manager Gerry Bunyan. “It highlights our continued strong working relationship. We supplied Exolgan their first Liebherr STS crane in 1994 and since then we have worked with them as they developed into one of South America’s leading ports capable of servicing the largest vessels.”

This is the third Liebherr Megamax crane that will operate at Exolgan Container Terminal.
