Turkey's biggest shipyard crane

Turkish crane manufacturer Vinçsan has delivered what is believed to be Turkey's largest shipyard crane. Vinçsan delivered the crane to shipbuilder Tersan Tersanecilik's state-of-the-art new-build shipyard in Yavlova, called Bogaziçi Tersanecilik, which is currently under construction. The crane has an SWL of 550t, delivered by two 275t hoists, which is believed to be the largest overhead crane lifting capacity in the whole of Turkey. The 1,000t crane has a span of 65m, a hoisting height of 50m and is 67m-tall at its highest point. Hoisting speed is 2m/min, and its trolley speed is a maximum 20m/min.
