Peru’s first Mobile harbour crane

Terminal Internacional del Sur (Tisur) has purchased a 125 tonne Konecranes Gottwald ESP.6 mobile harbour crane with hybrid power for the Port of Matarani in southern Peru, close to the border with Chile.
Apparently, it will be the first new mobile harbour crane to arrive in Peru. The crane is expected to go into service by the end of March.

The order is part of Tisur’s $598 million investment program, aimed at modernising the Port of Matarani. The crane will be used to handle containers, general cargo and project cargo at the multipurpose terminal. It will join a second hand Gottwald crane manufactured in the 1990s.

Tisur general manager Mauricio Nuñez del Prado said: “Our existing crane has proven its reliability over many years. We wanted to build on that experience with a new, high-performance crane to support our ambitious plans for the port. The advice and strong local service support from Konecranes were also a key factor in our decision.”

Alfredo Canibano of Konecranes added: “We are delighted to break new ground in Peru with Tisur. Our relationship with them demonstrates the value of working closely with customers over the long term.
