The collaboration between Liebherr and Briese Schiffahrt has taken a significant step forward with the delivery of the 50th LS 250 ship crane. This achievement consolidates a relationship started in 2014 and also reflects the development of technologies increasingly adapted to the requirements of heavy-lift transport by sea.
Technical innovations on the LS 250 crane
The model LS 250 has undergone substantial improvements. The column now features a tapered structure and the boom an aerodynamic profile that increases deck clearance and improves operational efficiency. These innovations enable compliance with regulations for navigation through the Great Lakes system and the St. Lawrence Seaway, key areas for many of Briese’s vessel routes.
The crane delivered will be installed on the vessel BBC Shanghai, which is scheduled to leave the Asian shipyard at the end of November. This deployment reaffirms the intention of both companies to maintain a technically competitive and highly adaptable fleet.
A partnership focused on efficiency
Since the beginning of the business relationship, Liebherr has provided customized lifting solutions for Briese Schiffahrt’s needs. The LS 250 model stands out for its balance between load capacity and reach,
The Litronic control system, integrated in these cranes, optimizes the lifting cycle by means of real-time monitoring and real-time monitoring of operating data of operating data, which reduces manual interventions and improves safety during loading maneuvers.
Reduced costs and improved sustainability
One of the most relevant advances is the reduction of hydraulic oil consumption by half. This has been achieved by replacing flexible hoses with more resistant pipes in the main lines. This upgrade, in addition to extending the ultimate life of the equipment, also reduces maintenance costs and improves the sustainability of the system.
The result is a cargo solution designed to meet today’s global transportation demands, combining technology, reliability and a shared vision for the future of maritime logistics. maritime logistics.
