Altius manages the construction and loading of a harbour crane at the port of Bilbao

Altius Bilbao has been handling a highly complex project since 2016. The docks of the port of Bilbao have witnessed, for the past16 months, the assembly of a 106-meter long, 68-meter high, and 27-meter wide port crane on rails (STS) which weighs 1,280 tonnes. A great deal of engineering and precision was required for this project.

In January, once the construction was completed, the crane was loaded on board the BigLift vessel "Happy Star", in a delicate operation that required millimetric calculations. During the 12-hour long loading operation, our colleagues from Bilbao stayed on the dock to ensure the proper coordination of the loading and subsequent lashing.
