The world\u2019s largest Goliath gantry crane ordered by Engevix Constru\u00e7\u00f5es Oce\u00e2nicas (\u2018Ecovix\u2019) arrived at its destination in Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil last week. Konecranes received the crane order in October 2011. In its combination of lifting capacity of 2,000 tons and rail span of 210 meters, the crane is the biggest Goliath gantry crane<\/a> in the world. The crane will be used initially to assemble eight hulls of Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) ships that will be used for offshore oil production projects.<\/p>\n

Construction of the crane components began in October of last year, in Finland and South Korea. Installation at the Polo Naval do Rio Grande shipyard is scheduled to be finished at the end of this year.<\/p>\n

President of Ecovix, Gerson de Mello Almada, says: \u201cWith the installation of the Goliath gantry crane we will contribute to the productivity of the Polo Naval do Rio Grande shipyard \u2013 already known for having the biggest drydock in Latin America \u2013 so it will be better prepared and become more competitive to face the challenges of naval assembly with high technology for the national and international markets.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEcovix has expansion plans for its Brazilian shipyards, and we intend to build a strong partnership in the coming years,\u201d comments Tuomo Lehtonen, Konecranes responsible for the project.<\/p>\n

Konecranes is the world\u2019s leading provider of Goliath gantry cranes, having delivered over 60 of them to shipyards around the world. Konecranes is also the world\u2019s leading provider of lifting equipment and services to shipyards, with over 50 years of experience and a complete portfolio of products and services for this special industry.<\/p>\n
