Shhh! Two very quiet cranes for Oslo

Konecranes has tasked itself with supplying two of the ‘most silent’ and eco-efficient ship-to-shore (STS) cranes for the Sjursöya container terminal, which is located in the Port of Oslo close to densely populated areas in the Norwegian capital.

Taking environmental responsibilities seriously, especially its noise emissions and carbon dioxide footprint, the port and the Sjursöya terminal set extremely stringent noise and CO₂ emissions limits for the new cranes. The order includes an option for an additional unit.

“Silence is golden; our goal is to deliver the world’s most silent STS cranes to the Port of Oslo. We have applied the most advanced noise reduction knowledge and technology in order to meet the port’s tough requirements,” said Juha Aatola, Konecranes’ general manager for STS cranes.
