Quiet and camouflaged STS cranes are handed over to the Port of Oslo

These cranes are probably bethe most silent and eco-efficient STS cranes in the world. In addition, they have been painted with a specially designed color scheme so that they blend in with the surrounding seashore and landscape. The parties involved have agreed not to disclose the value of the order.

The Oslo Sjursoya container terminal is located close to densely populated areas in Oslo. The terminal takes its environmental responsibility very seriously, especially its noise emissions and carbon dioxide footprint. Extremely stringent noise and CO2 emissions limits were set for the new STS cranes.

“Hand-over is complete and these STS cranes are on track to be the most silent and eco-efficient cranes of this type in the world. Time will tell, but I’m confident it will prove to be so,” said Juha Aatola, Konecranes General Manager, STS Cranes. “It has been a pleasure to work with the Port of Oslo on this very special project.”

The cranes are equipped with LED lights for improved eco-efficiency. They have twin-lift operation for maximum handling capacity, a lifting capacity of 64 tons, and an outreach of 40 meters.
