Ports of Auckland Ltd. (POAL) has been operating a fleet of manual 1-over-2 straddle carriers together with ship-to-shore cranes with low ground clearance. These machines are no longer able to meet the demands of growing container traffic and the ambitious growth targets of this terminal operator.
Automation is the answer to one of the major challenges faced by container terminals today: how to handle the steadily growing number of containers transported on ever larger vessels in an eco-efficient manner. Konecranes has always been a pacesetter in this area and has established reliable complete solutions with AGVs, ARMGs and, most recently, ARTGs. Konecranes now offers automated straddle carrier and sprinter carrier systems.
