Port of Manaus operator Super Terminais Comercio e Industria Ltda has placed a repeat order for three Konecranes Gottwald ESP.10 pedestal-mounted cranes.
The contract was booked in Q2 2025, and delivery is scheduled for Q3 2026.
The purchase follows Super Terminais’ landmark 2021 acquisition of the first three ESP.10 mobile harbour cranes ever produced.
With a 64-metre outreach and a strong lifting capacity curve, the pedestal-mounted cranes can handle containers and general cargo on vessels up to super-post-Panamax class.
Designed to meet growing volume demands and accommodate larger vessels, the cranes can also connect to an onshore power supply to help reduce emissions.
Marcello Di Gregorio, Director of Super Terminais, said: “The Amazon region is now receiving megaships carrying very heavy loads, and the Manaus Free Trade zone economy is growing fast.
“This is why we’ve again chosen these powerful, reliable and eco-efficient machines from Konecranes – doubling our handling capacity while keeping emissions under control and also meeting the demands of our customers.”
Situated at the gateway to the upper Amazon basin, the Port of Manaus is a key trade hub for northern Brazil.
Alfredo Cañibano Ramos, Regional Sales Manager at Konecranes, stated: “Repeat business is the strongest validation of trust. These cranes are engineered to perform in tough conditions, such as high humidity, extreme heat and on a floating pier.
“We’re proud to support Super Terminais with a solution tailored to their demanding operational needs in the Amazon region”
Recently, Konecranes received an order to supply 39 industrial cranes, with lifting capacities ranging from a couple of tonnes to several hundred tonnes, to Hitachi Energy’s new transformer manufacturing facility in Mustasaari, Finland.
