Konecranes received its first mobile port crane order from Sihanoukville Autonomous Port (PAS) for two Generation 6 Konecranes Gottwald Mobile Harbor Cranes, which will be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2023.
The Cambodian government owns and operates PAS, which is the country’s only deep-water port and is vital to the national economy.
Sihanoukville Autonomous Port chose to add movable port cranes to the port’s infrastructure to boost capacity and efficiency as cargo throughput continues to climb year after year.
“Konecranes Gottwald Mobile Harbor Cranes stood out as the right solution, offering fast operation for quick vessel turnover combined with impressive eco-efficiency. The electric drive system combined with an external power supply allows us to significantly lower on-site exhaust emissions while reducing operational costs,” stated Ty Sakun, deputy director general of Technique at PAS.
