Konecranes has won a multi-million contract to supply the Abu Dhabi Ports Company (ADPC).
ADPC will be delivered 30 automated stacking cranes from Konecranes and a container terminal operating system as part of a contract worth over US106.2 million.
The cranes will be delivered in two batches to Khalifa Port with 14 units delivered at the end of March 2012 and 16 units at the end of June 2012.
Tony Douglas, ADPC CEO, said: “We are delighted to sign this contract which marks another milestone in our journey to have the first phase of the port ready by Q4 2012. Konecranes will deliver their units on time and to budget and are another of our key partners in realising this flagship project.”
“This is a very important order for Konecranes,” said Niklas Brönn, managing director of Konecranes Middle East in the UAE. “The interest for automated terminals is increasing and Konecranes has a proven crane solution for these.”
The order marks the first Konecranes’ ASC cranes to be delivered to the Middle East.
