JSC “RIKON” has successfully completed the installation of the RPS-1600 portal crane at the national port of Aktau. This advanced double jib level luffing crane with a maximum lifting capacity of 63 tons and outreach up to 32 meters, is set to significantly improve the port’s operational efficiency by handling a variety of cargo, including containers and bulk materials.

The Aktau Port, established in 1964, serves as a vital maritime hub on Kazakhstan’s western coast, strategically positioned along the Caspian Sea. It facilitates essential connections to Azerbaijan, and Turkmenistan, playing a crucial role in transnational trade routes that link Europe and Asia. With its modern terminals designed for diverse cargo handling, the port supports both freight and passenger transportation.

In recent years, the port has made strides in implementing environmentally friendly technologies, resulting in increased cargo volumes and investments that bolster its modernization efforts. The installation of the RPS-1600 crane increases the port’s lifting capacity and contributes to its modernisation, helping to strengthen Aktau Port’s status as one of the leading transport hubs in Central Asia.
