Konecranes supplies eight hybrid RTGs to BCT Gdynia

Owned by the International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI), BCT Gdynia is a major Baltic Sea container hub. This is BCT’s first investment in Konecranes RTGs.

Each crane features a hybrid drive combining advanced battery technology with a compact diesel genset, reducing fuel consumption and emissions compared to traditional diesel RTGs.

The project is funded by the EU’s NextGenerationEU programme under Poland’s National Recovery Plan.

The cranes include Smart Features like Stack Collision Prevention, Auto-TOS Reporting, and Auto-Steering to improve safety and efficiency.

Maciej Maliszewski, Technical Director at BCT, stated: “We chose the Konecranes RTGs because they offer the best combination of performance and lower emissions. They met our requirements in terms of the technical solution, warranty, value for the investment and delivery time. This investment fits perfectly with our goal of improving handling capacity while reducing our environmental footprint.”

Heikki Kreku, Director of RTGs, Port Solutions at Konecranes, said: “More than 225 Konecranes hybrid RTGs are now in operation worldwide, with this latest order reflecting their growing popularity in Europe, too. The fact that our 3,000th RTG will be built in Poland for BCT makes this delivery a milestone. Our manufacturing network in Poland has been a fundamental part of our global success with RTGs.”

Recently, Konecranes delivered and commissioned a 1-tonne manual portal A-frame crane for Royal Selangor International Sdn Bhd, a leading pewter manufacturer in Malaysia.
