Copenhagen Malmö Port (CMP) will add eight Konecranes hybrid straddle carriers and two ship-to-shore cranes to its new container terminal in Copenhagen.

The new terminal in Ydre Nordhavn, a few kilometres from its existing location, will be completed by 2025.

CMP chief operating officer Povl Dolleris Røjkjær Ungar says: “It will be a future-proof terminal that will serve customers at a high level and ensure the best possible supply of goods and products to Zealand. 

“In such a busy port we demand high performance from our equipment, but we also want to be one of the most sustainable ports in the world by 2025. 

“In our evaluation process, sustainability was one of the most important factors. The hybrid straddle carriers from Konecranes provide the same power as fully diesel machines while significantly lowering on-site exhaust emissions.”

Konecranes port solutions sales manager Mikael Johansson says: “CMP is serious about sustainability and so is Konecranes. Our Ecolifting approach is a good fit with CMP’s sustainable approach. 

“Their trust in our technology and expertise will be rewarded as they move into a new and exciting period in the history of the port. We look forward to continuing our work with them for many years to come.” 

The eight hybrid straddle carriers will be delivered in the fourth quarter of this year and the two STS cranes in the first quarter of 2025.

CMP has committed to becoming climate neutral by 2025.
