By January 2022, Ports America Chesapeake (PAC) will have 15 new hybrid rubber-tired gantry (RTG) cranes from Konecranes<\/a> to expand operations and reduce diesel emissions at Port of Baltimore\u2019s Seagirt Marine Terminal. The new equipment will not only reduce the terminal\u2019s environmental impact, it will increase efficiencies \u2014 significantly increasing the current RTG container handling capacity.<\/p>\n

Ports America is the largest terminal operator and stevedore in the United States, operating in more than 33 ports and 70 locations in North America. Ports America Chesapeake\u2019s Seagirt Marine Terminal is currently handling an annual volume of just over one million TEUs and, due to a boost in e-commerce, continues to break monthly container handling records. The contract with Konecranes<\/a>, signed in January 2021, is a part of the terminal\u2019s expansion investments focused on ensuring the terminal is equipped with the latest technologies and equipment to support future growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we anticipate additional e-commerce growth and numbers to continue to rise at the Port of Baltimore with the expansion of the Howard Street Tunnel, we are committed to finding sustainable expansion solutions, like our partnership with Konecranes<\/a>,\u201d said Bayard Hogans, Vice President of PAC. \u201cWe see Konecranes<\/a> as a trusted supplier and selected them for their strength in delivering equipment and services that reduce climate impact. This partnership reflects Ports America Chesapeake\u2019s commitment to the environment, safety, and sustainable growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new RTGs are an important step in the terminal\u2019s long-term plan to have fully electric operation and zero tailpipe emissions, while maintaining industry-leading truck turn times. They build upon Seagirt\u2019s current fleet of RTGs and will replace older equipment. Konecranes<\/a> will deliver the new RTGs, which will be remotely operated and equipped with a number of operator and safety-enhancing smart features, in three batches starting in Q1 of 2022.<\/p>\n

Mario van den Heuvel, Director of RTG Product Line, Konecranes<\/a> Port Cranes, said: \u201cPorts America Chesapeake has set a goal for reducing its carbon emissions in the years to come, and I\u2019m pleased that we were able to meet their requirements for operational flexibility and eco-efficient operations. This contract reflects the growing popularity of hybrid Konecranes<\/a> RTGs in the US and around the world and shows our commitment to reducing the carbon footprint of our own operations and those of our customers.”<\/p>\n

Konecranes serves a broad range of customers, including manufacturing and process industries, shipyards, ports and terminals.<\/p><\/div>\n

This contract is part of\u00a0Ecolifting, Konecranes<\/a>\u2019 vision to increase its handprint \u2013 meaning the beneficial environmental impact that can be achieved with our product and service portfolio \u2013 while reducing customers\u2019 carbon footprints.
