Konecranes to deliver another 71 AGVs to MVII

Rotterdam’s Maasvlakte II (MVII) terminal is set to become APM Terminal’s largest fully automated terminal in Europe when it receives delivery of the 71 new automated guided vehicles (AGVs) it has just ordered from Konecranes.

The 71 AGVs form part of an automated horizontal transport system APM Terminals has placed for MVII which also includes a third battery exchange station and virtual reality simulation software.

The additional 71 AGVs will take MVII’s fleet to more than 140 lift AGVs.

MVII is undergoing an expansion with a view to doubling its capacity by 2027 with the terminal saying the new lift AGVs “will play a key role in the terminal expansion, seamlessly integrating with both the existing infrastructure and new cranes”.

APM Terminals MVAA managing director Harold Kunst says of the of order: “With this follow-up order [from Konecranes] for an electrified automated transport system, we are laying a reliable foundation to meet our ambitious growth and CO2 reduction targets, and we can also serve our customers well at the expanded terminal.”

The delivery and commissioning of the new 71 AGVs will begin in 2025.
