Klaipeda in Smelting pot

Konecranes has received an order for two Konecranes Noell RTGs and two Konecranes Gottwald MHCs from Kudos Trucking Company for its container terminal in Davao City, the Philippines

Klaipedos Smelte in the Port of Klaipeda, Lithuania, has placed a large repeat order with Konecranes for 10 RTGs and two STS cranes, as it builds towards establishing 1M TEU/year capacity

Geneva-based MSC is likely to use the Lithuanian port of Klaipeda to support and expand its operations in the Baltic Sea region in the coming
months.

The Port of Long Beach handled 6.775M TEU in 2016, a drop of 416,895 TEU on the 7.192M TEU through the port in 2015.

The complicated sale of Hanjin’s stake in Long Beach’s Pier-T Terminal is nearly resolved. MSC has emerged as the victor, with a deal that involves two new cranes, a two year payment guaranty for the Port of Long Beach and a $10M cash injection into TTI.

Transhipment activity may be slowing down as operational, commercial and fiscal factors combine to make the concept less efficient and acceptable.
