The Slovenian Port of Koper has ordered three electric, low-noise rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) cranes from the Finnish manufacturer, set for delivery in February 2023.

The RTGs will be equipped with cable reel systems and an auto plug-in feature, feeding regenerative power to the local grid.

The machinery will also have energy-efficient LED lights and a selection of the company's smart features: DGPS Auto-Steering, Auto-TOS Reporting, Auto-Positioning, and Truck Lift and Stack Collision Prevention.

The new equipment will up Koper's Konecranes RTG fleet to 30 units.

"Koper is a forward-looking container terminal operator with ambitious environmental goals, a quality that is strongly supported by our ecolifting approach," Adel Issa, Sales Manager EMEA, Konecranes, Port Solutions, said.

Edvin Boškin, the Port of Koper's Technical Manager, added, "It speaks volumes that our Investment Supplier of the Year award has been given to Konecranes a couple of times. We look forward to receiving our new RTGs and making them work for our customers. We will continue striving to be one of the leading port operators and logistics providers for Central and Eastern Europe."
