Abstract: An overhead crane (21, 22) for hoisting and moving containers (2) includes a rail track (23, 24) which rests on the ground via columns (25), and a frame (31, 32) which is displaceable along the rail track (23, 24) and is provided with elements for picking up and hoisting containers (2). In particular, the frame (31, 32) is suitable to accommodate at least one container (2) completely. In an assembly (20) of at least two overhead cranes (21, 22), the rail tracks (23, 24) of the overhead cranes (21, 22) extend at different levels with respect to the ground, substantially parallel with respect to each other, and rest on the ground via common columns (25). One of the advantages of this arrangement is the fact that the overhead cranes (21, 22) can pass each other.

Abstract: An unloading and loading crane arrangement (35) includes: a boom (37), in particular a projecting boom, for unloading cargo from or loading cargo onto a ship using a gripper (7) attached to the boom; and a transverse conveyor track (77) for moving the unloaded cargo inland in the transverse direction and moving the cargo to be loaded shipward. The arrangement is provided with a conveyor floor (75) with a vehicle (81) which can be moved across the latter at least in the transverse direction for displacing cargo. The conveyor floor has a first conveyor floor part (751) where the vehicle can receive a cargo from the gripper and a cargo on the vehicle can be presented to the gripper, and has a second conveyor floor part (752) for presenting cargo from the vehicle to the transverse conveyor track (77) and receiving cargo on the vehicle from the transverse conveyor track.

Abstract: An unloading and loading crane arrangement (35) with a boom (37), in particular a projecting boom, for loading and unloading a ship using a gripper (7) attached to the boom, which boom is hingedly connected to an arm (43) via a hinge point, wherein the arm is placed on at least one landside guide (59) and one waterside guide (61), wherein the waterside guide is placed at a higher level than the landside guide. An assembly of two or more such unloading and loading crane arrangements is also described.
