Konecranes wins repeat crane order with Turkey’s newest port

Turkey’s most recent port, run by Atakaş Liman İşletmeciliĝi Ve Tic. A.Ş. (Atakaş Port Business), has purchased its third Konecranes Gottwald crane within the past year.

The Gottwald Model 7 portal harbour crane (PHC) was ordered in the third quarter of 2018 and will start operations mid-2019, initially mainly handling bulk and later serving large container vessels.

Previously, the port had ordered two rubber-tyred Konecranes Gottwald Model 7 mobile harbour cranes (MHC) and this most recent contract includes the option for another crane at a later date.
