Two Double Jib Level Luffing portal cranes will be shipped by sea from Casablanca to Safi. RIKON is carrying out this operation for Marsa Maroc, Morocco’s leading port operator.

The cranes were not built by us, but we are transporting them in the same way as our own: assembled, on a heavy-lift vessel. This is the method we used to deliver RIKON cranes to Turkey.

To lift a crane in one piece, it first has to be prepared for the lift. RIKON engineers calculated, designed and manufactured special brackets for these two cranes. At the port of Casablanca, the brackets will be welded to the crane structures, and the cranes will then be loaded onto the vessel.

We were awarded the contract following an international tender held by Marsa Maroc. This is RIKON’s first project in Africa and a new role for the company: we are responsible for the engineering preparation and sea transport of heavy port equipment.

Those who build cranes know how to transport them.

Three days at TOC Americas 2026 in Cartagena, Colombia, are behind us — thank you to everyone who stopped by the RIKON stand. The conversations were focused and substantive, and that is exactly what we came for: new contacts, specific enquiries, and a clear picture of what the region's ports are dealing with today.

A special thank you to Cartagena — a beautiful, atmospheric city with warm, welcoming people, where it was a pleasure to work.

Second pair of RIKON cranes for OYAK readied for shipment to Turkey

Two RPS-1600 portal cranes stand ready for shipment at the Freeport of Riga. They are the last two of four cranes RIKON is supplying for the OYAK Group, one of Turkey’s largest industrial conglomerates.

RIKON delivered the first pair to the Mediterranean, to the İsdemir steel works on İskenderun Bay, Turkey’s only integrated steel plant producing both long and flat products. The new pair will head to the Black Sea, to the Port of Ereğli, for Erdemir, the country’s first and leading flat steel producer. Erdemir heads OYAK Mining Metallurgy, which also includes İsdemir, so RIKON cranes will be operating at both of the group’s steel plants.

A steel plant runs without interruption, and the cranes that serve it must keep the same pace. This is why they are built to duty group A8, the highest in the FEM classification, with increased safety margins. Each crane lifts up to 63 tonnes and operates at an outreach of up to 36 metres, with fully electric drives and not a single hydraulic component.

Like the first pair, the cranes will travel to Turkey fully assembled aboard a heavy-lift vessel, so that they can be brought into service at Ereğli without lengthy on-site assembly. Shipping a 55-metre, 550-tonne structure in one piece means planning every stage with precision, from loading to unloading, and for RIKON this is already a well-established practice.

RIKON will take part in TOC Americas 2026, which will be held in Cartagena, Colombia, from 20 to 22 October. The show brings together port authorities and terminal operators from across the Americas and equipment suppliers from around the world.

Last year RIKON took part in the show in Panama, which brought together more than 1,800 professionals. The 2026 edition, hosted by Grupo Puerto de Cartagena, is expected by the organisers to be the largest in the show’s history.

Terminal automation and bulk cargo are on the agenda at this year’s show, and we have plenty to share: this year we delivered container cranes with the RROS remote operation system to Spain and Slovakia, and portal cranes to Turkey.

We look forward to seeing you at stand C12 to discuss your projects and tell you more about ours.

RIKON's flagship projects are now on our website!

RIKON's website has a new section, Reference Projects. It brings together the most interesting examples of our work.
The projects are very different, and that is what makes RIKON unique:

• In Riga, five of our portal cranes serve an entire container terminal.
• In Madrid, three fully automated gantry cranes are at work.
• In Poland, an RTG-65 crane operates at the LM Wind Power blade factory.
• In Marseille, a RIKON mounting crane works in ship repair.

Behind every point on the map there is a separate project. Lifting capacity, outreach, height, control system: every parameter is defined and agreed with the customer.

The section will be updated regularly.

Time flies, and RIKON continues to grow rapidly, building advanced cranes tailored to the specific needs of its customers. We would like to share a video presentation we produced in 2018. Even then, we were committed to fully electric drives, zero emissions and energy regeneration.

Eight years have passed since then, and the range of products we offer today is even wider and their quality even higher. Our portal cranes have been joined by rail-mounted container gantry cranes and RROS, our own remote operation system, and our cranes are now delivered to Spain, Germany, Turkey and Slovakia.

Adif, the state-owned company managing Spain's railway infrastructure, has featured the container RMG cranes built and supplied by RIKON to the Valencia-Font de Sant Lluís intermodal terminal in the main presentation video on the Adif website.

We are proud to share this news. When a customer opens the story of its infrastructure with our cranes, we regard it as a sign that RIKON equipment has become an integral part of it. Behind each such crane lies the work of engineers, designers and the production team, from the first drawing to commissioning.

RIKON has also supplied Adif with three automated A-RMG cranes for the Madrid-Vicálvaro terminal.

RIKON has begun shipping two gantry cranes to Slovakia

The cranes are destined for the Interport intermodal terminal at Haniska near Košice. The project is co-financed by the European Commission through the CINEA agency with approximately €45 million and is due for completion in 2027.

The site was not chosen at random. The terminal sits on the eastern border of the EU and is connected to two railway systems at once: the European standard gauge of 1,435 mm and the broad gauge of 1,520 mm. There are only a handful of such points within the European Union. Trains arrive from the east on the broad gauge, onward transport across Europe runs on the standard gauge, and containers have to be transferred from one set of wagons to another. This is the work the RIKON cranes will perform.

Each crane has a lifting capacity of 41 tonnes, a span of 59.15 metres and a cantilever outreach of 14 metres. The drive is electric. Both cranes are supplied in a single-cantilever configuration, while an additional cantilever is being manufactured separately and will be installed later. It is removable and can be fitted to either of the two cranes.

Both cranes are equipped with RROS, RIKON's own Remote Operation System: the operator can work from a dedicated workstation instead of a cabin high above the ground. The terminal is being built with an emphasis on digital and automated technologies, and RROS fits into that approach. Cranes with RROS first entered service in Valencia, and the system, now proven in operation, is being applied in this project.

Designed and manufactured in Riga, Latvia.

RIKON enters the active phase of Barge Container RMG crane assembly at the BEHALA terminal in Berlin

The Barge Container RMG crane for the BEHALA multimodal terminal is in the active phase of assembly. The crane is being assembled from the bottom up. The travel mechanisms with geared motors have been installed on the rails, the sill beams mounted on top of them, and the main girder sections placed above. Assembly of stairways and platforms and installation of cable trays are proceeding in parallel.

The principal challenge of the project is the confined site: RIKON maintains round-the-clock passage for the customer's vehicles through the assembly area, with traffic moving directly beneath the main girders.

BEHALA (Berliner Hafen- und Lagerhausgesellschaft) is Berlin's state-owned port operator, linking waterway, rail and road transport; it runs Westhafen, the city's largest inland port. The crane will become the central link in the terminal's cargo handling.

The project is part of RIKON's work to develop its business in Germany and its equipment exports to the German market: the company won the supply tender in 2024, the same year it signed an agreement with Brunnhuber Krane GmbH to establish a joint venture.

Delivery has been completed and was a logistics undertaking in its own right: the components were loaded onto trucks in Riga, crossed the Baltic Sea by ferry and continued by road to Berlin.

The crane is 74.254 metres long and 39.110 metres high, with a span of 31.3 metres and a self-weight of 550 tonnes. Lifting capacity under the spreader is 40 tonnes, with a short-term maximum of 47 tonnes.

By class, the Barge Container RMG occupies an intermediate position between container rail-mounted gantry cranes (Container RMG) and ship-to-shore (STS) cranes. It is a trimodal crane, serving rail, road and waterborne transport. On the water side, a cantilever extends over the harbour basin to serve incoming vessels. The crane passes above other operating equipment: no container crane in Berlin or Brandenburg works at such a height.

Once assembly is complete, the crane will be put into operation this year and will become the largest container crane in Berlin and the Berlin/Brandenburg region.

Recently, RIKON published a press release on the Latvian news portals Delfi and Press. Both publications are available in Latvian. Delfi is among the most visited news platforms in Latvia and the Baltic region.

The article covers the recent shipment of two RPS-1100 portal cranes to Turkey, each weighing 430 tonnes. The cranes were assembled and tested at RIKON’s facility in the Port of Riga and were delivered to the customer fully assembled.

This is the second shipment of this kind carried out by RIKON within six months. Previously, cranes for an OYAK Group project were shipped from Riga using the same method.
