The road to zero tailpipe emissions looks different for every terminal operator. With Konecranes, you can move toward electrification at a pace that suits your operations, thanks to a wide range of power options across its port equipment portfolio. While electrification is the clear direction for ports globally, breakbulk and...

The drive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions – spurred by regulations from the United Nations, European Union, and U.S. environmental legislation – has accelerated the global shift towards electric transportation over the past decade. Konecranes is firmly committed to making fully electric versions of its entire product portfolio available by...

Konecranes has reached a major milestone in sustainable port operations by securing its first-ever global order for a fully battery-driven Rubber-Tyred Gantry (RTG) crane. The order was placed by long-standing customer GCT Global Container Terminals in Canada, marking a significant step forward in eco-efficient container handling. As part of this order, 10 hybrid Konecranes RTGs will be delivered to GCT Deltaport, while a fully electric, battery-powered RTG will be deployed at GCT Vanterm. The battery RTG will operate within a pilot programme supporting GCT’s ambitious net-zero emissions strategy. Equipped with Li-ion battery technology, the electric RTG will feature a dedicated charging...

Material handling is no longer just about strength – it’s increasingly about intelligence.  Cutting-edge, data–driven technologies are revolutionising the industry, driving remarkable efficiencies and unlocking new benefits. “Technology is progressing and simultaneously becoming less expensive, so ‘smart’ solutions are an increasingly viable option,” he adds. “In many cases, what used to be available...

The drive to electrification of heavy lifting equipment is well underway and we are seeing interest across the West and Central Africa region particularly from ports and mining customers. We are investing in skills and tools to support these new technologies. This article examines the key differences between LFP and...

Globally, the port industry emits 10-15 MtCO2e annually – equivalent to the total emissions of Slovenia. With the International Maritime Organization (IMO) aiming for a 20-30% reduction in shipping emissions by 2030 and a 70-80% reduction by 2040, port electrification is becoming inevitable. The successful transition to electric power in...

DP World’s Callao terminal in Peru has successfully integrated a fleet of 20 electric Terberg Terminal Tractors into its daily operations. These Terbergs, with a 236 kWh battery capacity, are now running 15-20 hours each day, marking a significant milestone in terminal logistics. The initial units began operations in mid-February...
