Friday night at 22:00, the ship AURA arrived in the dark and docked precisely - on board was Grenaa Port's largest machine investment ever: Mantsinen 300DEMG.
Huge chains were detached from the 411-ton crane, and on Saturday morning at 7am, excited colleagues gathered to witness the moment the "wonder" rolled ashore.
With impressive precision, two Finnish specialists lowered the crane from the ship - one set of wheels at a time - while AURA adjusted the height along the way. An operation that took 2 hours and required full concentration.
Soon after, the four specially designed grabs and one hook were lifted ashore by reachstacker. The grabs are a feat in themselves - with a capacity of up to 25 cubic meters, designed to handle all types of bulk cargo with maximum efficiency.
The rest of the weekend was spent on documentation and technical tests - and already on Monday morning the training of our crane operators began so that we can soon put the Mantsine into full operation.
With dual-power system (electric and diesel), 40 meters reach and flexibility for all types of bulk carriers, the crane is not just an investment - it's a boost for future port operations
