Crane price gap opens up

The Port of Virginia has ordered four low-profile STS cranes from ZPMC to meet height restrictions and service ULCVs at the Norfolk International Terminal.

Baltic Hub takes delivery of the first four of seven STS cranes intended for its T3 terminal.

APM Terminals Maasvlakte II has revealed a massive order for up to 71 Konecranes AGVs to support its capacity expansion project at the Port of Rotterdam.

Konecranes reported a net profit increase of over 40% year-on-year for both the third quarter and year-to-date figures, driven by strong performance in its service and port solutions segments.

Global terminal operators do not believe Chinese-made cranes represent a cybersecurity risk; ZPMC still dominates the market, but not to the extent it did previously.

Busy times at Liebherr as the company delivers one LPS 600 portal slewing crane and secures a new order for an LHM 550 mobile harbour crane.
