This marks the first European introduction of RTGs with this type of battery capacity, signalling a broader shift towards scalable, zero-emission cargo handling solutions across HHLA\u2019s container terminals.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur terminal in Muuga follows a long-term sustainability strategy that we are implementing step by step,\u201d said Riia Sillave, CEO of HHLA TK Estonia.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis investment marks an important milestone in the development of battery-powered equipment at European container terminals and supports our efforts to modernise operations while further reducing emissions.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wider investment<\/strong><\/p>\n The initiative forms part of broader investments in energy-efficient infrastructure, with each unit equipped with a 296 kWh battery capable of up to eight hours of continuous use. <\/p>\n This deployment represents a significant step in port electrification, replacing conventional diesel-powered RTGs with electric port equipment that cuts both emissions and noise.<\/p>\n The cranes\u2019 ability to operate independently of grid connections for an entire shift also enhances operational resilience, particularly in high-demand yard environments.<\/p>\n Tanel Ringo, technology and infrastructure manager at HHLA TK Estonia, highlighted the benefits of fleet consistency and regional engineering advantages to these cranes, noting alignment with existing equipment.<\/p>\n Philipp Reiter of Konecranes\u2019 emphasised that this contract is a good example of how battery technology is transitioning from a supplementary solution to a primary power source for terminal operations. <\/p>\n The terminal operator said it will deploy the battery powered cranes by the end of 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" HHLA TK Estonia will introduce Konecranes battery-powered RTG cranes at Muuga, advancing port electrification across its operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":6218,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34,22],"tags":[1835,146,2530,215,637],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-6217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-europe-greenport","category-products-services-greenport","tag-electric-port-equipment","tag-hhla","tag-hhla-tk-estonia","tag-konecranes","tag-port-electrification"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6217","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=6217"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6217\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6219,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6217\/revisions\/6219"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6218"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6217"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6217"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6217"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=6217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
