Konecranes wins MPET service deal
In a new contract, Konecranes Antwerp-based service organisation will perform all maintenance and repair work on more than 150 Konecranes Noell straddle carriers of different generations for MSC PSA European Terminal
MSC PSA European Terminal (MPET) is the single largest container terminal in Europe. The purpose of the new service agreement is to achieve consistently high availability of the entire machine fleet.
MPET saw steady growth in 2016. Randy Verresen, Manager, rolling equipment at Antwerp Terminal Services NV, service organisation of PSA Antwerp and MPET, said: “Last year, we exceeded the 10M TEU mark for the first time, which led to an increasing need for new machines. As a result, our fleet of Konecranes Noell straddle carriers has expanded by almost 100 machines in the past twelve months.
"To keep the availability of the straddle carriers as high as possible, we are now entrusting the service work on the machines to their manufacturer Konecranes. We are certain that we are well-equipped for the anticipated continued growth of the terminal over the long term.”
