Location Hamburg Port, "harbour Waltershof"
Comment view on the container ship CMA CGM Callisto at the "Burchardquay" of the "HHLA-Container Terminal Buchardquay (CTB)". The 5 container bridges, which you can see here in front, are currently the largest in Hamburg. Each of these tandem gantry cranes is 83.5 metres high, with a water-side boom length of 67.5 metres and weighs 2,250 tons. In tandem operation, when the high-tech cranes shift two 40-ft. containers at the same time using their two spreaders, they are able to lift a load of up to 125 tons.
