Italy’s Salerno Container Terminal (SCT), part of the Gallozzi Group, has ordered a Konecranes Gottwald ESP.10 Mobile Harbor Crane with an external power supply to support a port modernisation project.
The order was booked in Q1 2025, and the handover is scheduled for Q4 2025.
Equipped with a 64-metre boom and a maximum lifting capacity of 125 tonnes, the crane will be used to handle containers on super post-Panamax vessels of up to 15,000 TEUs and 22 rows across. It’s also designed to operate with a twin-lift spreader.
The high-performance crane has an external power supply, so it can be connected directly to the grid. This increases the efficiency of the drive train, helping SCT to cut local emissions.
Konecranes TRUCONNECT and Predictive Services support condition-based monitoring, extending the lifetime of the equipment and aligning with Italy’s directives for digital transformation and Transition Plan 5.0.
This latest deal is part of a €10 million ($11.37 million) terminal renewal project, including equipment and infrastructure investments to support the transition to lower-emission container handling.
“The new crane will significantly reduce loading and unloading times for the latest generation of ships,” said Agostino Gallozzi, Chairman of the Gallozzi Group.
“At the same time, we’re improving the eco-efficiency of our operations and setting an example for electrification across the broader region.”
