2021年第一季度，江苏镇江船厂(集团)有限公司订购了两台高效节能环保科尼Gottwald 8型驳船起重机。两台起重机将由中远海运散货运输（集团）有限公司（简称:中远散货）在非洲几内亚海岸操作。

In the first quarter of 2021, Jiangsu Zhenjiang Shipyard (Group) Co., Ltd. ordered two eco-efficient Konecranes Gottwald Model 8 Cranes on Barge. The cranes will be operated by Cosco Shipping Bulk Co. Ltd. (Cosco Bulk) off the coast of Guinea, Africa.

这两台驳船起重机专为在远海上使用而设计，最大外伸距43米，抓取力达63吨，可连续装卸散装货物。该起重机按照劳氏船级社海上作业环境起重设备规范进行设计，可在风速高达24米/秒，最大波高为2.5米的情况下工作。

Specially built for use on the open sea, the cranes provide a maximum outreach of 43 m and a powerful 63 t grab curve for continuous-duty bulk handling. They are designed in accordance with Lloyd’s Register Code for Lifting Appliances in a Marine Environment, which allows them to be operated at wind speeds up to 24 m/s and at maximum wave heights of 2.5 m.

作为世界上铝土矿储量最大的国家，几内亚的矿业一直在扩张。世界领先的航运公司中国远洋运输股份有限公司子公司中远散货称，他们需要更多的起重机来应对铝土矿产量的增加。这两台新起重机将把内河驳船上用于生产铝的铝土矿转运到远洋船舶上。至此，在几内亚海岸使用的科尼Gottwald驳船起重机总数达到12台。

Home to the world’s largest reserves of bauxite, the Guinean mining industry has been expanding. Cosco Bulk, a subsidiary of a world-leading shipping company, China Cosco Shipping Corporation Limited, found they needed more cranes to cope with the volume. These two new cranes will transship bauxite for the production of aluminum from river barges onto ocean-going vessels and will bring the total number of Konecranes Gottwald Cranes on Barge in the region to twelve.

“收到满意客户的重复订单总是让人心情愉悦。” 科尼港口解决方案销售总监Jerry Fann表示，“我们的技术在极具挑战性的条件下再次得到证明。随着全球科尼Gottwald驳船起重机数量的增长，我们巩固在这一市场的领先地位。自2004年投入使用以来，我们的驳船起重机性能一直在稳步提升，并将随着技术的发展不断改进。”

“It’s always a pleasure to receive a repeat order from a satisfied customer,” says Jerry Fann, Sales Director, Konecranes Port Solutions. “Our technology has proved itself once again under challenging conditions. As the number of Konecranes Gottwald Cranes on Barge grows around the world, we have consolidated our leading position in this market. Our cranes on barge capabilities have been growing steadily since launching in 2004, and we will continue to improve them as technology develops.”
