East Java Multipurpose Terminal (EJMT), an ICTSI business unit in Lamongan Regency, Indonesia, has received two new Konecranes Gottwald post-Panamax ESP.8 mobile harbour cranes (MHC).
The new equipment will assist EJMT in processing bulk, project, and container goods once the terminal opens in September.
Patrick Chan, EJMT Chief Executive Officer, said: “We are pleased to collaborate with Konecranes for our new post-Panamax MHCs. The equipment is central to our on-going development of the Lamongan terminal, which, upon completion in September, will serve as a new domestic and international gateway for our customers.”

The cranes are outfitted with the newest diesel-electric hybrid technology, which combines a diesel engine and three-phase generator with a secondary power source based on electrostatic short-term energy storage media known as ultracaps.
The ultracaps supply short-term energy during high power demand periods, reportedly lowering the equipment’s fuel consumption.

Holger Wagner, Konecranes regional sales manager for APAC, said: “We are happy that we were able to convince EJMT with our state-of-the-art drive technology. The cooperation was excellent from the beginning, and we are confident that both cranes will provide the handling flexibility and rates EJMT is aiming for.”
The hybrid MHCs are the most recent additions to EJMT’s fleet, which includes reach stackers, empty container handlers, container spreaders, tractors, and trailers.
The terminal also plans to receive grabs and hoppers by late August.
