ICTSI East Java terminal adds new cranes

East Java Multipurpose Terminal (EJMT) in Lamongan Regency, has taken delivery of two new Konecranes Gottwald post-Panamax ESP.8 mobile harbour cranes (MHC).

The new equipment will support EJMT in handling bulk, project, and container cargo once the terminal commences operations in September.

“We are pleased to collaborate with Konecranes for our new post-Panamax MHCs. The equipment is central to our on-going development of the Lamongan terminal, which, upon completion in September, will serve as a new domestic and international gateway for our customers,” said Patrick Chan, EJMT Chief Executive Officer.

The cranes combine their diesel engine and three-phase generator with a secondary power source based on electrostatic short-term energy storage media called “ultracaps”. The ultracaps provide short-term energy during peak power demand periods to reduce the equipment’s diesel consumption.

Holger Wagner, Konecranes regional sales manager for APAC, said “we are confident that both cranes will provide the handling flexibility and rates EJMT is aiming for.”

The Indonesian terminal is also set to take delivery of grabs and hoppers by late August.
