Konecranes to supply largest STS cranes in Baltic

With the combination of a 51 metre outreach, a lifting height of 42 m and a lifting capacity of 65 tonnes, these post-Panamax cranes will become the largest most powerful STS cranes in the Baltic Sea capable of serving the latest generation of container vessels. The 16-wheel RTGs have a lifting capacity of 40 tonnes and will stack 1-over-6 containers high across stacks six plus truck lane wide.

The RTG cranes will be fitted with Konecranes eco-efficient technologies such as the fuel saving system and be ready to switch to electric mains supply in the future to eliminate local exhaust emissions. Performance increasing technologies are included, such as DGPS-assisted technology for container yards and Autosteering, to keep the crane on a pre-programmed straight driving path thus improving safety and increasing productivity.

The crane’s container positioning system will be connected to the port’s terminal operating system (TOS), ensuring correct real-time container positioning and maintaining accuracy in inventory. The RTGs will also be fitted with Autostop that automatically stops the cranes in the correct position for the target container or slot. All the STS and RTG cranes will be equipped with remote maintenance diagnostics.
