FESCO Transportation Group (“FESCO”) has provided relocation of four Kalmar’s straddle carriers CSC340 from JSC First Container Terminal in St. Petersburg to LLC Vostochnaya Stevedornaya Company in the Primorye Territory. Both terminals are part of the Global Ports group.

Before loading, the carriers were placed on 16 supporting gantries specifically designed and manufactured for this transfer and necessary for placing and securing the carriers on the deck. The carriers were installed on the gantries using a mobile port crane Liebherr, loading and unloading was performed by a ship crane. Each relocated container weighed 67 tonnes and was 6.4 m wide, 9.8 m long and 12.2 m high.
