Vogt christens BLG’s mobile port crane “Frieda”
04.11.2025
BREMERHAVEN. In August, a new mobile port crane was christened “Frieda” by Kristina Vogt, Bremen’s Senator for Economics, Ports and Transformation, at BLG Autoterminal Bremerhaven. The five-million euro Liebherr LHM 550 crane, invested by BLG LOGISTICS, has a lifting capacity of up to 154 tonnes and a radius of 54 metres. With a tare weight of 440 tonnes, the crane is also ideal for the requirements of modern heavy-duty loading. The crane also represents ecological progress: with ten powered axles, it can be used flexibly and can be operated with shore power. “With the new crane, Bremerhaven can show what the port can do: more weight, more reach, more flexibility. BLG’s investment strengthens the location, especially in heavy cargo handling,” said Vogt. Previously, 150 readers of the Nordseezeitung had submitted their name suggestions for the crane. The jury, comprising employees of BLG LOGISTICS and the newspaper, decided on “Frieda” – which represents the German abbreviation for “Functional Shunting Crane for Industrial Unloading and Dynamic Applications”.
