Ports are inherently high-risk environments, with heavy machinery, moving vehicles and deep water present every day. Keeping people safe must always come first, while poor safety can also lead to equipment damage, downtime and significant operational costs.
A proactive safety approach starts with preventive maintenance, correct equipment configuration and well-trained operators. Modern technologies such as retrofits, smart safety features and digital services further reduce risk. Solutions like Stack Collision Prevention support safer RTG operations, while remote monitoring provides real-time data to maximise uptime and prevent failures.
Safety and productivity go hand in hand. By combining robust equipment with intelligent technology and data-driven insights, ports can create safer working environments while improving performance.
To support this, Konecranes has published a dedicated White Paper outlining practical ways to enhance safety across port equipment and operations.
