Super Terminais director Marcello Di Gregorio said: "The Amazon region is now receiving megaships carrying very heavy loads and the Manaus Free Trade zone economy is growing fast. This is why we've again chosen these powerful, reliable and eco-efficient machines from Konecranes – doubling our handling capacity while keeping emissions under control and also meeting the demands of our customers."
