Travel of 441 m on a ship unloading crane in Malaysia

The location is a modern coal power plant,newly constructed by TNB Jana Manjung in Lumut, Malaysia. The coal for the power plant is supplied by ships. To allow further processing, docking stations were established on a man-made island situated approximately 2 km off shore; ships docked here are handled by 2 large unloading units. These unloading units each have a travel of 441 m and were built by Koch in Wadgassen, Germany.

The installation is operated by Lekir Bulk Terminal Sdn Bhd.

The installation features the following "long travel" applications:
