Konecranes Oyj: Konecranes gains ground in Peru with order for ESP.6 mobile harbor crane

Terminal Internacional del Sur (Tisur) has invested in a Konecranes Gottwald ESP.6 Mobile Harbor Crane for the Port of Matarani in southern Peru. Booked in Q3 2026, the order marks Konecranes' first sale of a factory-new mobile harbor crane in Peru. The equipment is expected to be operational by the end of Q1 2027.

The new order forms part of Tisur's USD 598 million investment program, aimed at modernizing the Port of Matarani.  With a maximum lifting capacity of 125 tons, the Konecranes Gottwald ESP.6 Mobile Harbor Crane will be used to handle containers, general cargo and project cargo at the multipurpose terminal. 

Tisur already operates a pre-owned Konecranes Gottwald Mobile Harbor Crane manufactured in the 1990s. The port operator's positive experience with that equipment helped to lay the foundation for its purchase of the ESP.6 crane, in what marks a significant breakthrough for Konecranes' mobile harbor crane business in Peru.

"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," says Mauricio Nuñez del Prado, General Manager of Tisur.

Tisur has specified a motor grab for the crane's bulk handling, while opting to power the crane with a hybrid drive system that uses capacitors to reduce energy consumption and emissions. This also enables the crane for future fully electric operation.

"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," says Alfredo Canibano, Regional Sales Manager, Konecranes Port Solutions.

A strong focus on customers and commitment to business growth and continuous improvement make Konecranes a material handling industry leader. This is underpinned by investments in digitalization and technology, plus our work to make material flows more efficient with solutions that support the decarbonization of the economy and advance circularity and safety.
