          ew product developments and
        
        
          innovative technologies take
        
        
          current trends in the maritime
        
        
          sector into account.
        
        
          Manufacturers have to adapt their product
        
        
          ranges to meet the requirements of their
        
        
          customers. The mobile harbour crane sector
        
        
          is also driven by innovation. New
        
        
          technologies are introduced to the market in
        
        
          frequent intervals. Liebherr Maritime Cranes
        
        
          is a pioneer in the development of new
        
        
          maritime innovations.
        
        
          The 2014 fiscal year was great for
        
        
          Liebherr’s maritime division, achieving a
        
        
          historical record in the mobile harbour
        
        
          crane department with 112 units supplied
        
        
          across the globe. Moreover, the
        
        
          introduction of new products, such as the
        
        
          new LHM 800 mobile harbour crane, and
        
        
          technologies set the course for future
        
        
          growth.
        
        
          Liebherr’s most important maritime
        
        
          technology launched last year was the
        
        
          intelligent grabbing system SmartGrip.
        
        
          This technology optimises grab filling rates
        
        
          in a self-learning manner. SmartGrip
