The equipment would enable giant container ships with a capacity of 20,000 containers to enter and dock at Shahid Rajaee Port, he added. As much as €100 million have been allocated for the procurement of 12 super cranes and the two that are due to arrive have cost €17 million, IRNA quoted Aliabadi as saying.
