SECH to revamp old box cranes

Chancay Port, a US$ 3.5b mega project, aims to become South America’s main Asia trade hub. It will handle 18,000+ TEU ULCVs, have automated operations, and an adjacent economic zone.

OEMs continue to make progress with battery-powered machines and alternative fuels as more ports in the US line up for government incentives for low and zero emissions equipment.

Automation, central to ongoing discussions between the ILA and USMX, is viewed by Konecranes’ CEO as the way forward for port equipment.

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.

COSCO SHIPPING Ports has acquired 12.5% and 30% stakes in Thai Laemchabang Terminal and Hutchison Laemchabang Terminal for US$ 110m.

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.
