Duferco Terminal Mediterraneo (DTM) has commissioned a 125-tonne lift capacity Konecranes Gottwald ESP.6 mobile harbour crane at its Giammoro terminal in Sicily, Italy.
The crane was delivered in mid-October 2024 and fully commissioned by November 15.
DTM is a subsidiary of Duferco Group, an Italian steel production, renewable energy and logistics concern. The group is investing EUR95 million (USD98 million) to expand and electrify the Giammoro terminal as it aims to transform the entire area – including an adjacent steel plant – into a low-emission industrial hub for sustainable logistics and production.
The Konecranes Gottwald ESP.6 mobile harbour crane will be located on a newly developed pier connecting directly to an industrial area where part of the commercial traffic will be moved from the urban port. The logistics operator already uses Konecranes lift trucks at the terminal, but this is the first order for a mobile harbour crane from Konecranes.
The crane is also prepared for an external power supply, which allows DTM to switch easily when the electrification of the pier is complete.
