Grupo CICE strengthens maritime service operations with the commissioning of its Dual Trolley Ship-to-Shore Cranes

Veracruz, Ver.- Grupo CICE strengthens its capabilities for handling shipping services with the commissioning of two Liebherr P180 L-S Dual Trolley Ship-to-Shore Cranes at its Semi-Specialized Container and Project Cargo Terminal located in the North Bay of the Port of Veracruz, marking a new stage in the operational development of the facility.

 

The commissioning of both equipments was completed through the handling of two shipping services at the Terminal: CMA CGM’s ALTAMIRA EXPRESS, with the arrival of the ELBBRIDGE, and ZIM Integrated Shipping Services’ ZIM GULF TOUCAN service, which was handled with the SPYROS V. With these operations, both cranes are now formally integrated into North Bay’s operational scheme, strengthening CICE’s capabilities to meet the requirements of its customers and shipping lines.

With a safe working load of up to 65 metric tons, the Liebherr P180 L-S Dual Trolley Ship-to-Shore Cranes can handle up to 80 metric tons in Twin Lift mode and between 80 and 100 metric tons in Tandem mode, with an outreach of up to 20 container rows. In addition, the cranes feature Remote Operation Station (ROS) systems and Active Front End technology for energy recovery, capabilities that contribute to optimizing cargo handling operations and enhancing the Terminal’s overall operational performance.


The commissioning of both cranes represents a significant step in strengthening CICE’s operational capabilities by incorporating additional capacity for port handling operations and enabling the efficient management of the evolving dynamics of maritime services at the Port of Veracruz.


With the commissioning of its new Dual Trolley Ship-to-Shore Cranes, CICE continues to strengthen its capabilities to address the current and future demands of international trade, contributing to more efficient logistics chains and reinforcing North Bay’s as a Terminal equipped to respond to the evolving requirements of maritime and commercial connectivity.

 

 

Grupo CICE and MSC Strengthen Their Partnership for Environmental Conservation in Veracruz

Veracruz, Ver.- At Grupo CICE, relationships with clients and strategic partners are fundamental to generating new opportunities and consolidating long-term partnerships. In this regard, the relationship with Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) continues to strengthen through different areas of collaboration that provide opportunities to share experiences of mutual interest and join efforts on initiatives with a broader impact.

 

As part of this relationship, representatives of MSC, during their recent strategic visits to the Port of Veracruz, have complemented their experience by contributing to the environmental conservation of the area through beach clean-up activities coordinated with Grupo CICE. These activities took place ahead of scheduled tours of the Semi-Specialized Container and Project Cargo Terminal at the North Bay of the Port of Veracruz, where MSC representatives had the opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge of the terminal’s infrastructure, processes, operational capabilities, and protocols, with the aim of continuing to identify opportunities for joint project development.

In this way, the collaboration has extended beyond the scope of their commercial partnership, with beach clean-up activities held at Isla del Amor Beach in July and, more recently, at Regatas Beach in August. These activities brought together MSC representatives, as well as Grupo CICE employees, volunteers, and members of its Environmental Committee, allowing both organizations to join efforts in support of environmental conservation.

 

Participation in these initiatives demonstrates how a strong relationship can generate positive impacts across different areas, enabling organizations to share not only objectives related to their respective activities, but also initiatives that contribute positively to the communities and environments where they operate.

 

For Grupo CICE, maintaining close relationships with its clients and strategic partners represents an opportunity to strengthen trust, share capabilities, and build new opportunities together. Through these relationships, the organization continues to consolidate partnerships that contribute to the development of joint projects and the creation of shared value.
