Turkish container port orders Konecranes RTG cranes amid increased box traffic

Nemport Liman Isletmeleri (Nemport) in Izmir, Turkey, has ordered 10 Konecranes Noell Rubber-Tired Gantry (RTG) cranes to handle growing container traffic.

The order was booked in July and the new equipment will be delivered in October 2022.

From the beginning, we have been operating Konecranes RTGs and Konecranes Gottwald Mobile Harbor Cranes with great success.”

The Konecranes Noell RTGs on order will help Nemport to expertly serve its customers as the growing trade gateway of the Aegean region.”
