Product catalog summary

Overview: The Estaleiro Atlântico Sul (EAS) shipyard, established in 2008, is located in the Suape area of Brazil. It is the largest and most modern shipyard in the southern hemisphere, processing 160,000 tons of steel annually. The shipyard is strategically important for building and repairing vessels and offshore platforms, particularly for the oil and gas sectors in the Gulf of Mexico and West Africa.

Challenges: EAS faces the challenge of completing a high volume of work quickly. The shipyard's large size allows for reduced building times by using prefabricated hull blocks.

Solutions: To address these challenges, EAS ordered two Goliath Gantry Cranes from Konecranes, each capable of lifting 1,500 tons. These cranes, along with 50 overhead industrial cranes, enable the shipyard to handle large blocks efficiently, enhancing speed and competitiveness.

Results: The implementation of Konecranes technology has been successful, with EAS's CEO, Angelo Bellelis, expressing satisfaction and considering further collaboration. The cranes are praised for their advanced technology and safety features, with operators and maintenance crews appreciating their functionality.

Key Equipment: The Goliath Gantry Crane is highlighted as the most crucial equipment in the shipyard, essential for its success, as noted by James Murray, Supply Manager at Atlântico Sul.
