INTELS Nigeria Ltd. acquired one of the largest port handling cranes in the world. The 600-ton Liebherr crane, worth $6 million, will aid in INTELS goals of making Nigeria the hub of oil and gas logistics services in Africa.
The crane, which has been deployed at the Onne Oil and Gas Free Zone, is the largest at any port facility in Africa.
“The crane is characterized by rapid and efficient handling of loads up to 208 tons. With its extensive boom outreach, the LHM 600 is the ideal cargo handling solution for the type of very large and ultra large ships operating across the world today,” INTELS’ head of administration and general services, Chibuisi Onyebueke, said while conducting a tour with journalists around the Onne Oil and Gas Free Zone.
