The electric RTGs, scheduled for delivery by Q1 2025, will replace older models in Luka Koper\u2019s container yard, aligning with the port\u2019s long-term strategy for sustainable operations. <\/p>\n
\u201cKonecranes RTGs give us the high peak performance we need and the cranes are reliable and easy to maintain,\u201d said Edvin Boskin, technical manager of the Container Terminal at Luka Koper.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a long-term electrification strategy and so does Konecranes, which makes this order a natural next step in our cooperation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fleet electrification<\/strong><\/p>\n These cranes will join a fleet of 28 Konecranes RTGs, 15 of which are fully electric and powered by cable reel systems. The port also operates four Konecranes Rail-Mounted Gantry (RMG) cranes, which it said further unscores its commitment to advanced port electrification solutions.<\/p>\n The electric RTGs will be equipped with auxiliary batteries and Konecranes\u2019 Truck Lift Prevention feature, ensuring operational efficiency and safety.<\/p>\n Part of Konecranes\u2019 Ecolifting initiative, these cranes aim to reduce carbon emissions while enhancing environmental sustainability, aligning with global decarbonisation goals.<\/p>\n As Luka Koper plans a significant expansion with a new quayside and container yard, its investment in electric RTGs marks a step forward in integrating advanced port equipment that supports both operational growth and environmental responsibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Slovenia\u2019s Port of Koper will add four Konecranes electric Rubber-Tired Gantry (RTG) cranes to its fleet advancing port equipment modernisation and port electrification efforts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":4863,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,63],"tags":[1879,637,23,1877,48,1878],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-4862","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy-technology-greenport","category-products-services","tag-electric-rtg","tag-port-electrification","tag-port-equipment","tag-port-of-koper","tag-shorepower-electrification","tag-slovenia"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4862","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4862"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4862\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4864,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4862\/revisions\/4864"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4863"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4862"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4862"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=4862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
