Bahamas port goes electric with new Konecranes Gottwald Generation 6 mobile harbour crane

Arawak Port Development Limited (APD) has ordered a Konecranes Gottwald ESP.6 mobile harbour crane (MHC) to add extra capacity to its terminal at the Port of Nassau.

Joining one of Konecranes Gottwald Generation 6 MHCs already operating at the harbour, the new crane will be the first at the port to run on mains power.

APD ordered the ESP.6 MHC as part of its expansion of its Nassau facilities, aiming to fully leverage the crane’s high capacity and ensure lower emissions from electric operation.
