Konecranes has received an order for four more electric Rubber-Tired Gantry (RTG) cranes from Luka Koper for its container terminal at Slovenia’s Port of Koper. This follows an order placed in 2024 for four identical Konecranes electric RTGs.

Luka Koper operates Slovenia’s only cargo seaport, a key Adriatic gateway to Central and Eastern Europe. The company is continuously investing in its container terminal, with a strong focus on lowering emissions and improving efficiency.
The four new electric Konecranes RTGs will replace several older diesel units currently running in the container yard. Power will be provided by cable reel systems connected to the local grid, with onboard battery packs included for stack changing. Each crane will feature Konecranes’ Truck Lift Prevention for enhanced safety during container handling.
“This latest order builds on a relationship that has grown over many years, based on proven results and shared eco-efficiency goals. The new Konecranes RTGs support our modernisation programme by combining reliable performance with lower emissions,” says Edvin Boskin, Container Terminal Technical Manager at Luka Koper.
The company already operates an extensive fleet of Konecranes equipment, including 32 Konecranes RTGs and four Konecranes Rail-Mounted Gantry (RMG) cranes, one of which has been retrofitted with a Remote Operating Station.
“By ordering the same type of electric Konecranes RTGs as last year, Luka Koper can scale its modernisation programme even faster. This repeat order shows how ports can enhance daily operations and reach eco-efficiency targets,” says Philipp Reiter, Regional Sales Manager, Konecranes Port Solutions.
