JSC “RIKON” is successfully completing the assembly of two Double Jib Level Luffing cranes at the Riga Port as part of a major contract to supply four equipment units to Turkey. The shipment is scheduled for autumn 2025. The equipment is destined for operation at İSDEMİR Port, which serves as critical infrastructure for one of Turkey’s largest metallurgical plants, owned by the industrial giant OYAK Group.
İSDEMİR Port is a specialized industrial terminal serving the İSDEMİR metallurgical complex (İskenderun Demir ve Çelik A.Ş.), part of the OYAK Mining and Metallurgy Group. OYAK Group ranks among Turkey’s largest industrial conglomerates, unifying enterprises in metallurgy, mining, and energy sectors. The port handles significant cargo volumes — over 6 million tons annually — facilitating the import of raw materials (iron ore, coal) and export of finished metal products.
The new cranes offer high perfomance and operational flexibility. Their key technical specifications include:
- Maximum lifting capacity of 63 tons in hook operation;
- Lifting capacity of 32 tons in grab operation;
- Maximum boom outreach of 36 meters;
- Total weight of each crane is approximately 550 tons.
The upcoming shipment will mark an important milestone in project implementation, strengthening the partnership between JSC “RIKON” and the OYAK Group while creating new opportunities for the company in the strategically important Turkish market.
This project, alongside currently ongoing deliveries for the Spanish national railway company ADIF, clearly demonstrates JSC “RIKON”‘s capability to execute high-stakes orders for critical infrastructure facilities worldwide.
