A 50-tonne capacity bridge crane for the second unit of Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant is ready for shipment from the Russian port of Novorossiysk.

Rosatom, the Russian state nuclear agency, said this at a press release on Monday (March 17).

Earlier, modern electric gantry cranes with lifting capacities of 16 and 32 tonnes were delivered to the port.

The equipment was manufactured in Russia and will be used for loading and unloading operations at the Rooppur project.

Bangladesh's first-ever nuclear power plant is being implemented at Rooppur with Russia's technical and financial support.
