Mammoet opens new crane depot in the Port of Antwerp

Mammoet’s new crane depot in Antwerp will further improve service to European customers; further development of the activities in Latin America

Mammoet has opened a new crane depot in the Port of Antwerp. A new office in São Paulo (Brazil) replaces its previous premises in the city. This location serves as main office for the whole Latin America region.

The new crane depot in the port of Antwerp will further improve service to customers in the area and support the company’s growth of recent years. Having cranes in the vicinity of Mammoet’s customers in the petrochemical, container shipment and dredging industry enables the company to provide quick service and help its customers optimize their project planning and execution.

Director Luc van Bogaert comments: “The new depot in Antwerp strengthens our position in this leading port. It supports our mission of being a worldwide service provider, which is also close to its customers and provides a service tailored to local needs.”

The Latin America office carries a greenhouse certificate, making it one of the few in the region to have such environmental certification. While the office was being refurbished ahead of occupation, Mammoet took great care to align the improvements with its sustainability core values. The new office also has a charter that encourages staff to support Mammoet’s and parent company SHV’s sustainability commitments.

Mammoet will continue to work closely with Sao Paulo-based IRGA, a major Brazilian transport and logistics company. This partnership has proved highly successful in large projects across the region, such as for the wind power industry.

Christiaan Lavooij, Managing Director of Mammoet Latin America, says: “We are on target in developing Mammoet’s activities in Latin America, and further expanding our business by providing a full range of services in support of our clients’ complex projects. In addition to operations in Chile, Colombia and Venezuela, we also opened new offices in Bolivia and Rio de Janeiro, reinforcing our local presence even more.”

Mammoet from the Netherlands helps clients improve construction efficiency and optimize the uptime and installation. For that purpose, its 5,000 professionals provides solutions for lifting, transporting, installing and decommissioning large and heavy structures.
