LBS – Liebherr Barge Slewing
This new floating crane concept, Liebherr Barge Slewing (LBS), is conceived for midstream
operation in ports and sheltered waters, on rivers and in coastal waters; for ship to ship as
well as ship to shore handling. Based on the Liebherr mobile harbour crane series, the LBS
models are precisely tailored to meet individual requirements and manufactured according to
a uniform design principle combined with purpose-built barges as customer specific solutions.
Ship to ship handling
• transshipment and midstream operation between ocean-going vessels and river
barges on different types of waterways, including those having no or few quays.
Ship to shore handling
• direct cargo transfer from ship to shore. Especially when quays reach capacity limits
this solution poses an alternative to cost intensive modification of infrastructure
preventing cargo-handling bottlenecks. In addition LBS cranes can support existing
handling equipment providing a flexible response to fast changing requirements in
peak times. If the water alongside the quay is too shallow preventing ships of a
particular size from landing the LBS is applicable as a stopgap between ship and quay
replacing investment in expensive quay walls and deep-draught berths.
