Konecranes gains order for two cranes from Cameroon

The Cameroonian terminal operator Régie du Terminal à Conteneurs (RTC) has ordered two eco-efficient Konecranes Gottwald Model 6 Mobile Harbor Cranes aiming to improve their overall capacity in container handling.

Anticipating an increase in the volume of cargo passing through the Port of Douala, RTC decided to increase the fleet of mobile harbor cranes at its terminal and expects that the new equipment, which will arrive in early August, will boost the terminal’s efficiency.

“Playing such an important part in the local economy, we need to maintain high-quality services for both Cameroonian and international clients,” said Faustin Dingana, managing director of RTC Douala.

The two new cranes are Konecranes Gottwald Model 6 Mobile Harbor Cranes in the G HMK 6507 variant. With a maximum radius of 51 metres, they can service container vessels up to post-Panamax class. Additionally, a full range of smart crane features combined with a maximum lifting capacity of 125 tonnes offers high flexibility in handling any kind of cargo including general and even heavy project cargo.

“RTC already operates a fleet of Konecranes lift trucks and mobile harbor cranes, and the fact that they have chosen us again demonstrates how the performance of our cranes helps them reach their productivity and growth objectives,” commented Andreas Czwalinna, regional sales manager for Konecranes Port Solutions.

According to Konecranes’s statement, the order was booked in the first quarter of the current year.
