Danish port orders Konecranes Gottwald Mobile Harbor Crane to improve performance, meet demand
Denmark’s Port of Kalundborg has ordered an eco-efficient Model 7 Konecranes Gottwald Mobile Harbor Crane to meet expected container and general cargo demand at its newly developed New West Port. The order, booked in Q1 2021, underscores Konecranes’ commitment to helping customers and industries grow and transform so they run more efficiently, sustainably and safely.
The port placed the order as it prepares to start operations in Spring 2021. The crane will be operated by APM Terminals in agreement with A.P. Moller (Maersk), which recently added Kalundborg to their locations. The crane joins an older Konecranes Gottwald Model 6 currently on site and will be delivered in May 2021.
Konecranes wins order for two more cranes on barge from China
In the first quarter of 2021, Jiangsu Zhenjiang Shipyard (Group) Co., Ltd. ordered two eco-efficient Konecranes Gottwald Model 8 Cranes on Barge. The cranes will be operated by Cosco Shipping Bulk Co. Ltd. (Cosco Bulk) off the coast of Guinea, Africa.
Home to the world’s largest reserves of bauxite, the Guinean mining industry has been expanding. Cosco Bulk, a subsidiary of a world-leading shipping company, China Cosco Shipping Corporation Limited, found they needed more cranes to cope with the volume. These two new cranes will transship bauxite for the production of aluminum from river barges onto ocean-going vessels and will bring the total number of Konecranes Gottwald Cranes on Barge in the region to twelve.
