In March 2015, Konecranes received an order from PT Pelabuhan Indonesia III (Persero) in Surabaya for three Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes. The cranes will be delivered to the PT Terminal Petikemas Surabaya (TPS) at the end of 2016. When the cranes are in operation, a total of 7 Konecranes STS cranes and 16 Konecranes RTG cranes will be in operation at TPS, the company said in its press release.
PT Terminal Petikemas Surabaya (TPS) is an important gateway to East Java. It has many shipping routes, and belongs to the Pendulum of the Archipelago, a central government project that is interlinking six major Indonesian seaports to form a single main sea corridor in the country. When operational, it is projected that the Pendulum of the Archipelago will cut the cost of domestic logistics by up to half.
The three Konecranes STS cranes on order are high-performance cranes with a lifting capacity of 60 tons and an outreach of 46 meters. The cranes will allow TPS to handle bigger vessels after the Surabaya West Access Channel improvement is complete.
Konecranes has a service contract with PT Terminal Petikemas Surabaya (TPS).
