Chief executive Gonzalo Alvargonzález said: “These are very reliable cranes. They are very high performance and extremely solid. That helps us to serve our customers, who expect their cargo to be unloaded quickly. Time is a very important factor in our work. So, the faster a ship is unloaded, while being careful with the cargo, the better.”
