Konecranes delivers port equipment to Piraeus

Konecranes has delivered two empty container handlers (ECHs) and one forklift to Piraeus Container Terminal S.A. (PCT), joining four additional Konecranes ECHs already operating at the port.

PCT, a subsidiary of COSCO Shipping Corporation, ordered the equipment back in October 2020 as its volumes steadily grew.

Dimitrios Megalooikonomou, deputy technical manager of PCT, said: “We bought our first two Konecranes ECHs in 2017 and they’ve performed very well. Because of an increase in demand in our storage facilities, we ordered two more of the same in 2019, and we needed two more again this year.
