The St. Vincent and Grenadines Port Authority (SVGPA) has ordered a new Konecranes Gottwald ESP.7 Mobile Harbor Crane to boost container and general cargo handling capacity in the Port of Kingstown.

The St. Vincent and the Grenadines Port Authority is expanding its cargo handling capabilities with a new terminal and Generation 6 Konecranes Gottwald ESP.7 Mobile Harbor Crane

This Generation 6 machine will join an existing Konecranes Gottwald mobile harbour Generation 5 crane in a new terminal, opening in Q1 2025, as Kingstown seeks to expand its service offering. The new crane will run on electricity from the harbour mains, reducing carbon emissions.

“The new terminal is key to the future of our local businesses. With two Konecranes Gottwald mobile harbour cranes in the terminal, we can handle far more throughput. Plus, the electric drive on the new crane is in alignment with our long-term goal of lowering local carbon emissions,” explains Carl James, CEO, SVGPA.

The Konecranes Gottwald ESP.7 Mobile Harbor Crane has a working radius of up to 51m and a

maximum capacity of 125-tons to serve container ships up to post-Panamax class.
