“RIKON” starts the year with a strategic victory, securing its first contract on the African continent. The company has won an international tender for the complex transportation of a Double Jib Level Luffing crane (a key product in RIKON’s manufacturing portfolio) of German production. The crane will be transported in a fully assembled state from the port of Nador to the port of Safi in Morocco.
The contract was awarded by Marsa Maroc, the leading port operator in the Kingdom of Morocco. The project involves the transport of the crane in a fully assembled state—a logistically challenging operation that demands specialized expertise, meticulous planning, and proven execution capabilities.
RIKON’s proven track record in large-scale transport was one of the decisive factors. The company’s recent and efficient shipment of Double Jib Level Luffing cranes to Turkey served as a key reference, clearly demonstrating the required competence and reliability. RIKON’s participation in TOC Africa 2025 in Tangier proved instrumental, providing a direct platform to present its capabilities to Marsa Maroc and other key regional stakeholders.
We are particularly pleased that this first African contract of its kind for RIKON comes precisely after our active engagement at TOC Africa. It is always rewarding when dedicated efforts translate into a tangible result and the trust of such a significant industry leader. This success validates our strategy and opens a new chapter for our activities on the continent.
