Italy's Salerno Container Terminal (SCT), part of the Gallozzi Group, has ordered a Konecranes Gottwald ESP.10 Mobile Harbor Crane with an external power supply to support a port modernization project. The order was booked in Q1 2025 and handover is scheduled for Q4 2025.

Equipped with a 64-meter boom and a maximum lifting capacity of 125 tonnes, the crane will be used to handle containers on super post-Panamax vessels of up to 15,000 TEUs and 22 rows across. It's also designed to operate with a twin-lift spreader.

The high-performance crane has an external power supply, so it can be connected directly to the grid. This increases the efficiency of the drive train, helping SCT to cut local emissions and meet its eco-efficiency goals. Konecranes TRUCONNECT® and Predictive Services support condition-based monitoring, extending the lifetime of the equipment and aligning with Italy's directives for digital transformation and Transition Plan 5.0.

"The new crane will significantly reduce loading and unloading times for the latest generation of ships. At the same time, we're improving the eco-efficiency of our operations and setting an example for electrification across the broader region," says Agostino Gallozzi, Chairman of the Gallozzi Group.

SCT first began using Konecranes Gottwald Mobile Harbor Cranes in 1990. This latest deal is part of a EUR 10 million terminal renewal project, including equipment and infrastructure investments to support the transition to lower-emission container handling. SCT is aiming to be the most eco-efficient terminal in the Mediterranean.

"The Gallozzi Group's commitment to electrification and digitization aligns perfectly with Konecranes' strategy for eco-efficient and modernized terminal operations," says Giuseppe Di Lisa, Vice President Sales & Marketing, Konecranes Mobile Harbor Cranes.

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.
