As part of the terminal's ongoing expansion program, two new Automated Rail Mounted Gantry Cranes (ARMGs), manufactured by Künz, were equipped with AqualLine Turnbuckles (TBL).

The TBL turnbuckles were installed in the crane's spreader headblock assembly, where they are used to adjust and align components within the container lifting system.

Delivering the world’s largest Fast Connector Sockets for the Pioneering Spirit

The Pioneering Spirit is one of the largest offshore construction vessels in the world, designed entirely in-house by the Allseas Group. A record-breaking vessel that can install and remove large oil and gas platforms in a single lift, and is able to install extremely heavy pipelines. The idea for the vessel was born several decades ago and after years of engineering and construction, the vessel entered service in 2016.
