They will have a lifting capacity of 40 tons, lifting containers 1-over-5 high and 7 container rows wide plus truck lane. Furthermore, they will be equipped with the Auto-steering feature, which keeps the crane driving straight on a pre-programmed path.

As well as that, they will also have Auto-TOS Reporting, which reports all container moves to the TOS, enabling accurate yard inventory.

Said Asbaai, Chairman of the Executive Board of Tanger Alliance, had this to say about the deal: “Konecranes is known for the excellence of its technology and high-performing cranes.

“We selected Konecranes RTGs because we believe these machines will help us to reach our ambitious goals.

“Also, we appreciated Konecranes’ ability to deliver the cranes according to our challenging schedule. They will all be delivered by July 2020.”

Adel Issa, Regional Sales Manager EMEA, Konecranes Port Solutions, also commented: “This is a breakthrough for Konecranes in Morocco and I’m pleased to have been a part of it. I wish the Port of Tangier every success as it continues to expand.”
