Summary

Katoen Natie has put two all-electric mobile harbour cranes into service at the Port of Antwerp, with four more joining them across three deep-sea multipurpose terminals. The completed fleet will include four 200-tonne cranes and two 150-tonne machines, with paired lifting capacity reaching 400 tonnes. Katoen Natie expects the six cranes to displace as much as 500,000 litres of diesel annually once they’re operating. The October commissioning announcement is worth attention because these are heavy, mobile machines working in a commercial port.
