HHLA, ABB join forces to develop automatic stacking crane systems

Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) and ABB have agreed on a partnership in order to improve efficiency in long-term operation of large automatic stacking crane (ASC) systems.

The aim of the partnership between the two companies, which will be ongoing until the end of 2025, is to unlock potential for the further development of systems for automatic stacking cranes as well as their use, maintenance, and servicing.

It is important to note that HHLA Container Terminal Altenwerder (CTA) at the port of Hamburg in Germany was one of the first container terminals in the world to deploy large end-load automatic stacking cranes.

“With ABB, we have a partner with a high level of technical expertise at our side. Our aim is to optimise the ASCs and to further develop them through innovative technology,” stated Oliver Dux, director of technology at HHLA.
