Terminal Internacional del Sur (Tisur) has ordered a Konecranes Gottwald ESP.6 Mobile Harbour Crane for the Port of Matarani in southern Peru.
Booked in the third quarter of 2026, the order is Konecranes’ first sale of a factory-new mobile harbour crane in Peru. Operations are expected to begin by the end of the first quarter of 2027.
The crane has a maximum lifting capacity of 125t and will handle containers, general cargo and project cargo at Matarani’s multipurpose terminal.
The purchase forms part of Tisur’s $598m investment programme to modernise the port. Tisur already operates a pre-owned Konecranes Gottwald crane manufactured in the 1990s, with its performance contributing to the decision to purchase a new machine.
Tisur general manager Mauricio Nuñez del Prado said: “Our existing crane has proven its reliability over many years. We wanted to build on that experience with a new, high-performance crane to support our ambitious plans for the port. The excellent advice and strong local service support from Konecranes were also key factors in our decision.”
Tisur has specified a motor grab for bulk handling. The crane will use a hybrid drive system with capacitors, which Konecranes said is intended to reduce energy consumption and emissions while allowing the equipment to be converted to fully electric operation in the future.
Konecranes Port Solutions regional sales manager Alfredo Canibano said the company’s relationship with Tisur had been supported by its existing equipment and local service network.
“We’re delighted to break new ground in Peru together with Tisur. Our relationship with them demonstrates the value of working closely with customers over the long term, supported by reliable equipment and a strong local service network,” he said.
