Saronic Selects Syncrolift for $100 Million Shiplift at Brownsville Shipyard
Saronic has awarded Nekkar subsidiary Syncrolift a contract worth more than $100 million to design and supply a 300-meter, 67,000-metric-ton shiplift for its Port Alpha shipyard at the Port of Brownsville, with delivery scheduled for 2028.
Saronic Technologies has selected Syncrolift AS, a subsidiary of Oslo-listed Nekkar ASA, to design and supply what the companies describe as the world's largest shiplift for the Port Alpha shipyard at the Port of Brownsville. Nekkar announced the contract on Nov. 12 and valued it at more than $100 million.
The shiplift will have a 300-meter lifting platform, about 984 feet long, and a lifting capacity of 67,000 metric tons. According to the announcement, that is more than twice the capacity of the next-largest shiplift in operation. Final delivery of the system is scheduled for 2028.
