Yilport owner Robert Yildirim said: “Konecranes have a very solid and good reputation for their reliable, automated e-RTG cranes. Since six of these e-RTG cranes are going to be used in Sweden and 12 in Portugal, we believe Konecranes’ technical support will be key in our decision to choose Konecranes.”

Konecranes Port Solutions regional sales manager Ville Hoppu said: “Yilport has been a Konecranes customer for some years.

“I am very pleased that Yilport has decided to take this authoritative step to automated container handling operation with Konecranes. We look forward to working with Yilport’s experts to raise the bar of automated RTG operations as high as it can go.”

Last week, Konecranes won a contract from Yilport to refurbish 23 cranes at Taranto Port in Italy.
