More Konecranes E-RTGs for Koper

The “world’s first hydrogen fuel cell-powered rubber-tyred gantry” could be a better zero-emissions option for terminal operators at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach than ERTGs.

The H2-ZE RTG Transtainer Crane has commenced commercial operations in the Port of Los Angeles as part of a four-year pilot project.

The US and Japan are moving much closer together as the US looks to move quickly to remove China as a supplier of infrastructure and other systems it deems as critical infrastructure and/or a cyber security risk.

“Alternative drives and automation were key topics in the maritime cranes product segment” Liebherr said in its review of 2023.

Japanese OEM records a 48.8% increase in orders received by its Logistics Systems business as large RTG orders roll in.

Transnet has bought seven refurbished rubber tyred gantry cranes (RTGs) from Los Angeles, which are expected to be deployed in mid-December and probably at Cape Town’s Multi-Purpose Terminal (MPT).
