In 2003, the Port of V�ster�s, part of M�larhamnar AB, renewed an important contract with a local Power Company, M�larenergi, for the highly important unloading of fuels for power plant incineration. A rapid, steady increase in the power plant's production capacity and more focus on supply chain reliability made it obvious that an increase in bulk unloading capacity was also needed - for both the short and long term. Further, as an additional challenge, the port was and is still bound by internal logistics that vessels have to be unloaded directly into 50 m³ dump trucks running a circle path to the power plant.  This meant the port was in need of a bulk crane which would allow for efficient unloading into trucks.
