Konecranes to supply biggest Goliath gantry crane in the world to Brazilian shipyard
In October 2011 Konecranes received a major order for a Goliath gantry crane from Brazilian shipyard Ecovix-Engevix Construcões Oceanicas S.A. (“Ecovix-Engevix”). The shipyard, located in the city of Rio Grande do Sul, builds drill ships for the oil and gas industry. The Goliath gantry crane, which in its combination of lifting capacity and rail span will be the biggest Goliath gantry crane in the world, will be delivered to Rio Grande do Sul in October 2012. The parties have agreed not to disclose the value of the order, but deliveries of similar scope are typically worth tens of millions
