Lifting solutions provider Konecranes has reached an agreement with Luka Koper, the operator of the Port of Koper in Slovenia, to deliver five electric rubber-tyred gantry cranes (RTGs).
The cranes, which are to be equipped with cable reels and an auto plug-in system, are set to be delivered in the summer of 2019.
The electric-powered equipment features regenerative power feedback to a local grid, LED lighting, and has low levels of noise.

“Koper has granted Konecranes its Investment Supplier of the Year award, for the second year in a row. It’s an honor to receive this vote of confidence in our container handling equipment and how we support Luka Koper in its business.”
Edvin Boskin, Technical Manager of Luka Koper, said: “Starting in 2004, Luka Koper acquired over 20 Konecranes RTGs over 15 years of strong collaboration that allowed us to build a trusting relationship. It was a good decision to choose Konecranes as our crane supplier.
“Koper’s strategy is concentrated on the port, which will remain a multi-purpose port with a market position that we will strengthen steadily while reducing our environmental impact on our neighborhood.”
