到2022年1月，美國港口集團切薩皮克公司（PAC）將擁有15臺科尼全新混合動力輪胎式集裝箱門式起重機(RTG)，以擴大巴爾的摩港希捷海運碼頭的業(yè)務，以減少柴油排放。新設備不僅將減少碼頭對環(huán)境的影響，還將提高運作效率——顯著提高目前RTG的集裝箱裝卸量。

By January 2022,Ports America Chesapeake (PAC) will have 15 newhybrid rubber-tired gantry (RTG) cranesfrom Konecranes to expand operations and reduce diesel emissions atPort of Baltimore’s Seagirt Marine Terminal. The new equipment will not only reduce the terminal’s environmental impact, it will increase efficiencies — significantly increasing the current RTG container handling capacity.

在保持業(yè)內(nèi)領先的牽引車周轉(zhuǎn)時間的同時，全新混合動力輪胎式集裝箱門式起重機(RTG)也是該碼頭實現(xiàn)全電力運營和零尾氣排放的長期計劃的重要一步。新訂購的起重機將加入希捷海運碼頭現(xiàn)有RTG車隊，并取代原有的舊設備?？颇峒瘓F將于2022年第一季度開始分三批交付新型混合動力RTG，這些起重機將進行遠程操作，并配備一系列增強操作員操作和智能安全的功能。

The new RTGs are an important step in the terminal’s long-term plan to havefully electric operation and zero tailpipe emissions, while maintaining industry-leading truck turn times. They build upon Seagirt’s current fleet of RTGs and will replace older equipment. Konecranes will deliver the new RTGs, which will beremotely operatedandequipped with a number of operator and safety-enhancing smart features, in three batches starting in Q1 of 2022.

“隨著霍華德街隧道的擴建，預計巴爾的摩港的電子商務行業(yè)將得到進一步的發(fā)展，企業(yè)數(shù)量也將繼續(xù)增加，因此我們致力于尋找可持續(xù)的擴建解決方案，比如我們與科尼集團展開合作。我們選擇科尼集團，將其視為可信賴的供應商，是因其在提供減少氣候影響的設備和服務方面的優(yōu)勢。這種合作關(guān)系體現(xiàn)了美國港口集團切薩皮克公司對環(huán)境、安全和可持續(xù)發(fā)展的承諾?！?/p>

“As we anticipate additional e-commerce growth and numbers to continue to rise at the Port of Baltimore with the expansion of the Howard Street Tunnel, we are committed to finding sustainable expansion solutions, like our partnership with Konecranes.We see Konecranes as a trusted supplier and selected them for theirstrength in delivering equipment and services that reduce climate impact. This partnership reflects Ports America Chesapeake’s commitment to the environment, safety, and sustainable growth.”
