Port Esbjerg in Denmark has acquired a Liebherr LHM 800 mobile crane which has lifting capacity of 308 tonnes to deal with larger offshore wind turbine components.
The crane is 48 metres in tall and has a boom length of 66 metres, the port said.

It will arrive at the port in August.
Port Esbjerg chief executive Dennis Jul Pedersen said: “We are experiencing a growth in high and heavy cargo, and that makes new demands on our crane capacity.
“The crane gives us much greater cargo handling flexibility. In addition to single lifts of over 300 tons, the new crane will allow us to carry out tandem lifts with two of our largest cranes together lifting up to 448 tonnes.”
