DP World boosts London Gateway with Konecranes automated port equipment

UAE-based port and terminal operator DP World ordered 18 Automated Stacking Cranes (ASCs) from Konecranes for London Gateway Terminal to enhance the equipment of its major box facility in the United Kingdom.

The order, which was booked in April, will add 18 units to an existing fleet of 60 ASCs. The integration of London Gateway’s existing fleet with the new Konecranes cranes will take place in planned phases. The first batch of eight new machines will be delivered by the third quarter of 2023 and the remaining 10 Konecranes ASCs will be delivered by the first half of 2024.

The integration work will involve the replacement of the existing Remote Operating Stations (ROSs) and the installation of a new Fleet Management System with performance monitoring tools, which will be implemented for all the 78 ASCs of the terminal.

Mattias Karlsson, sales director of port solutions at Konecranes, said, “The new fleet of Konecranes ASCs will be equipped with Konecranes’ in-house automation technology across the board. This will include automated handling of road trucks. This is based on Konecranes’ routine calibration-free solution which enables steady hit rates over time, reducing the number of exceptions that the remote operator must handle.”
