The Port of Esbjerg in Denmark has ordered a second Liebherr LHM 800 crane capable of lifting next-generation offshore wind turbines.
The first LHM 800 for Port Esbjerg was delivered in 2019, with the second expected next year.

The second delivery will mean the port is able to carry out tandem lifts of up to 616 tonnes.
Liebherr will also deliver a LHM 600 crane to the port before the end of the year.
A total of seven Liebherr mobile harbour cranes have now being bought by the port.
Port Esbjerg chief executive Dennis Jul Pedersen said: “Our competency lies in breakbulk and in having the capacity for tandem lifts above 600 tons, which is necessary not only in the on- and offshore wind market but also in supporting production in the hinterland.”
