Dutch terminal invests in its 9[th] Konecranes Gottwald Mobile Harbor Crane to increase performance and support eco-efficient growth
With growing cargo flow and CO2 targets to meet, Combined Cargo Terminals B.V. (CCT) in the Netherlands has ordered a Konecranes Gottwald ESP.7 Mobile Harbor Crane equipped with an external power supply. The order was booked in Q1 2025 and delivery to CCT’s Moerdijk terminal is scheduled for Q3 2025.
With its 51-meter working radius and excellent visibility for crane drivers, the Konecranes Gottwald ESP.7 Mobile Harbor Crane is the successor of CCT’s existing Model 6 cranes. It will increase handling performance, supported by a higher crane classification in container handling for longer service life.
The new ESP.7 mobile harbor crane comes with an external power supply for connection to the grid, enabling CCT to further reduce fuel consumption and local emissions. CCT uses its mobile harbor cranes together with a large fleet of Konecranes reach stackers, maintaining high handling speeds across the terminal.
“This latest crane gives us the visibility, reach and speed we need for serving the larger size of vessels increasingly calling at the terminal. Konecranes is a key partner on our growth and sustainability journey, having supplied us with equipment since the start of our operations in 2005,” says Luc Smits, Managing Director of Combined Cargo Terminals.
Located between Rotterdam and Antwerp, the Moerdijk terminal serves as a key trimodal hub to combine transport on rails, road and waterways in Europe. The new crane joins a Konecranes fleet that ensures smooth handling across both sea-going vessels and inland shipping routes.
“This latest order strengthens a trusted relationship built over two decades. As CCT’s needs have evolved, so too have the solutions provided by Konecranes. We’re committed to supporting high-performance and eco-efficient port logistics for all our customers,” says Giuseppe Di Lisa, Vice President Sales & Marketing, Mobile Harbor Cranes, Konecranes.
This contract is part of Ecolifting, Konecranes’ vision to increase its handprint – meaning the beneficial environmental impact that can be achieved with our product and service portfolio – while reducing customers’ carbon footprints. From eco-optimizing diesel drives, to hybridization and fully-electrified fleets, we will continue to do more with less.
A strong focus on customers and commitment to business growth and continuous improvement make Konecranes a material handling industry leader. This is underpinned by investments in digitalization and technology, plus our work to make material flows more efficient with solutions that decarbonize the economy and advance circularity and safety.
