Konecranes will supply a fleet of automated stacking cranes (ASC) to DP World to support expansion and modernization at its Antwerp terminal.
Finnish crane manufacturer Konecranes has received an order from port operator DP World to provide a fleet of automated stacking cranes (ASC) for the Antwerp Gateway terminal. The contract is intended to enhance the facility's capacity and operational throughput as global supply chain requirements evolve.
