Bromma wins Middle East orders for 50 spreaders

Bromma has won orders for 50 spreaders for the Middle East, the majority of which are for 2nd generation all-electric spreaders.


The largest order for 13 YSX40E all-electric yard spreaders is for Israel’s Haifa Port Authority: Other orders are for six similar models for DP World El Sokhna in Egypt; five for APM Terminal in Salalah, Oman; five for Simatech Shipping and Terminals in Iran and six for the Port of Alexandria, Egypt.


In addition to the all-electrics, Bromma has won new spreader orders for delivery to Kuwait and Israel, comprising ten STS45 separating twin-lift ship-to-shore spreaders to the Kuwait port of Shuaiba and seven to Ashdod port, Israel


The 2nd generation of yard all-electrics were first introduced by Bromma in 2010 and have several technical enhancements designed to achieve three key benefits: fewer adjustments improving spreader uptime, easier and simpler maintenance and greater overall reliability.


In addition, according to the company, the new 2nd generation GreenLine™ yard spreaders have many financial advantages including lower spreader weight, resulting in up to 90% lower spreader power consumption when compared with hydraulic yard spreaders, a major reduction in service points, higher reliability and spreader uptime and cumulative lifecycle cost benefits.


These advantages are in addition to half the original spreader cost being returned in green cost savings


Finally, Bromma points out that its 2nd generation Greenline™ yard spreaders offer lifetime environmental benefits such as an energy consumption reduction of 150,000 kWh (113 tonnes of CO2 emissions) and a crane power consumption reduction equal to 94 tonnes of CO2 emissions per spreader.
