INTERGIS has placed an order for a Konecranes Gottwald ESP.5 Mobile Harbor Crane to enhance cargo handling capabilities and reduce emissions at the Port of Busan in South Korea.
This Generation 6 machine will augment INTERGIS’ current fleet amid significant port redevelopment efforts. Scheduled for delivery in early 2025, the crane aims to support increased bulk and general cargo traffic while promoting environmental sustainability in one of South Korea’s key logistical hubs.
“The Port of Busan is fast becoming very important for international trade. With the addition of this new crane, we can handle whatever our market demands. Not only that, its electric drive will both reduce our fuel consumption and help the port meet its goal of creating an eco-friendly commercial waterfront. And we really appreciate Konecranes’ continuous local service support,” stated Dong Ho Park, CEO, of INTERGIS.
INTERGIS, a logistics company operating at six commercial harbors across South Korea, including the Port of Busan, is strategically investing in advanced handling technology to meet growing demands and environmental goals.
The purchase aligns with Konecranes’ Ecolifting™ initiative, focused on minimizing environmental impact through innovative product and service offerings, such as eco-optimized diesel drives, hybrid solutions, and fully-electrified fleets.
“INTERGIS approached us asking for equipment delivering smooth, efficient operations with a minimal amount of downtime – and with reduced emissions as well. Konecranes has been a trusted INTERGIS partner for years, and is pleased to continue this relationship, backed by our long-term service agent Kilwoo,” added Jerry Fann, sales director, Port Solutions, Konecranes.
