On December 3, a tailor-made 800T-162.5M shipbuilding Goliath Crane for the Fincantieri Group by HHMC was shipped to Italy, which will be finally assembled, commissioned and delivered in Italy.

This Goliath Crane, independently designed and manufactured by HHMC, is fully benchmarked to the international standards and is particularly applicable in MARGHERA shipyard, a subsidiary of Fincantieri Group in Italy. After the gantry crane is put into operation, it will greatly improve the lifting capacity and production efficiency of the user's dock, and permanently improve its comprehensive production capacity, playing an important role in building the cruise ship and bringing considerable benefits.

Strictly controlling the design, production, quality, risks and so on, HHMC scrupulously checks and reviews the design on capability, safety, maintenance and other facilities, especially on the size, accuracy, appearance and installation interface positions, with a high quality standard and strict requirements from the very beginning of this project, which is approved by user and the supervisor of Italian Classification Society. Considering that there is no large-scale crane at user's site, HHMC adopts two heavy lift vessels with 900-ton deck crane as transport to meet the demand of hoisting and transporting, which not only saves the cost but also improves the efficiency of loading and unloading vessels.

Founded in 1780, Italy Fincantieri Group is the largest cruise ship builder and the fourth largest shipyard all over the world. Taking the advantage of the strategic cooperation between China State Shipbuilding Corporation Limited and Fincantieri Group, HHMC stood out from the Italian local companies, other European and Chinese port machinery manufacturers and finally won the favor from Fincantieri. In May of this year, Fincantieri and HHMC, cooperated and signed another procurement contract of three sets of Jib Cranes once again, bearing convincing witness that China's high-technology equipment becomes more and more competitive and acceptable in global market since the reform and opening-up.

In recent years, HHMC has made remarkable achievements in the field of shipbuilding portal crane equipment and has successfully designed and manufactured more than 30 sets of crane equipment for many large shipyards, such as: Guangzhou Yuanhang Wenchong, Tianjin Xingang Shipbuilding Industry, Hudong Zhonghua Shipbuilding Group, and Qingdao Beihai Shipbuilding Industry.
