SCT to cut operational emissions with electric Konecranes

Salerno Container Terminal (SCT), part of the Gallozzi Group, has ordered a Konecranes Gottwald ESP.10 Mobile Harbor Crane with an external power supply to support a port modernization project. The order was booked in Q1 2025 and handover is scheduled for Q4 2025...It’s also designed to operate with a twin-lift spreader.

“The new crane will significantly reduce loading and unloading times for the latest generation of ships. At the same time, we’re improving the eco-efficiency of our operations and setting an example for electrification across the broader region,” says Agostino Gallozzi, Chairman of the Gallozzi Group. SCT first began using Konecranes Gottwald Mobile Harbor Cranes in 1990.

This latest deal is part of a EUR 10 million terminal renewal project, including equipment and infrastructure investments to support the transition to lower-emission container handling. SCT is aiming to be the most eco-efficient terminal in the Mediterranean.
