GCT Global Container Terminals orders Konecranes equipment for Canadian facilities

GCT Global Container Terminals has ordered 10 hybrid Konecranes rubber-tired gantry (RTG) cranes for its GCT Deltaport terminal and one battery-powered Konecranes RTG for its GCT Vanterm terminal.

The agreements were signed in the first quarter of 2025, and the 11 cranes will arrive at the Canadian terminals by the third quarter of 2026.

The new orders will expand GCT’s fleet of Konecranes RTGs to 43 units. The terminal operator’s earlier RTGs are equipped with Konecranes’ Diesel Fuel Saver system, with significant fuel consumption reductions. Now, GCT adds 10 hybrid Konecranes RTGs, placing Konecranes’ first order for a fully battery-powered RTG.

The 10 hybrid Konecranes RTGs for GCT Deltaport will further improve fuel efficiency at the box terminal. The battery-powered RTG for GCT Vanterm will come with a charging container and automated charging interface, smoothly integrating with on-site electricity infrastructure.

The GCT Vanterm order is GCT’s pilot project for zero-emission RTG operations, providing insights that will help GCT make informed decisions on its net-zero pathway.

“Our Global Commitment includes reaching 45% absolute emission reductions by 2030 to meet the Paris Agreement reduction targets and Net Zero emissions by 2050. With these latest orders for our two container terminals in British Columbia, we’re making big steps towards these goals,” commented Daniel Howell, COO of GCT Global Container Terminals.
