Haivanship expands operations into northern Vietnam
(Posted on 04/12/24)
Leading Vietnamese maritime-logistics operator Haivanship (HVS) is growing its Konecranes fleet with two Lloyd’s-certified Generation 6 Konecranes Gottwald ESP.9B crane on barge. The order for the first crane was booked in Q3 2024 and the second in Q4, with both to be delivered at the end of 2025.
Haivanship is currently providing coal transshipment using two Konecranes Gottwald HPK 7400B cranes at transshipment buoys in Go Gia, Ho Chi Minh City, servicing power plants in southern Vietnam, especially in the Mekong Delta. The Vietnamese operator specializes in bulk handling of coal imported from Australia and Indonesia. Coal is still a critical energy resource in Vietnam, fuelling approximately half of the nation’s electricity supply. HVS is now expanding its coal transshipment business in northern Vietnam, starting a project at the South Cat Ba Deep Water Anchorage, with a depth of approximately 20 meters for vessels up to 210,000 DWT (near Haiphong port and Hon Mieu, Cam Pha Anchorage of Quang Ninh), using two Lloyd’s-certified Generation 6 Konecranes Gottwald ESP.9B crane on barges.
“Our experience working with Konecranes equipment in the south has been very positive. The cranes are efficient and have consistently delivered reliable performance. Now this new Konecranes equipment will play a key role in handling coal transshipments on the open sea and expanding our services into the north,” says Tran The Vinh, General Manager at Haivanship.
The Generation 6 Konecranes Gottwald ESP.9B Mobile Harbor Crane is fully certified for barge operations under the Lloyd’s Register Code for Lifting Appliances in Marine Environments. Engineered to perform in demanding open-sea environments, the crane can withstand wind speeds reaching 24 meters per second and wave heights up to 2.5 meters.
The cranes come equipped with Konecranes TRUCONNECT remote monitoring, providing HVS with vital crane data for predictive maintenance planning.
“Haivanship is a valued partner in Vietnam and we’re very pleased to add to their fleet with our Generation 6 technology. Supporting the company’s expansion is perfectly aligned with Konecranes’ goal of growing our business in the country,” says Holger Wagner, Sales Manager for Asia-Pacific at Konecranes.
