East Java Multipurpose Terminal (EJMT) recently took delivery of two new mobile harbor cranes (MHCs).
The new Konecranes Gottwald post-Panamax ESP.8 MHCs will support EJMT in handling bulk, project and container cargo once the terminal commences operations in September, International Container Terminal Services, Inc.’s (ICTSI), mother unit of EJMT, said in a statement.
“We are pleased to collaborate with Konecranes for our new post-Panamax MHCs. The equipment is central to our on-going development of the Lamongan terminal, which, upon completion in September, will serve as a new domestic and international gateway for our customers,” said Patrick Chan, EJMT chief executive officer.
Holger Wagner, Konecranes regional sales manager for Asia Pacific, for his part, said: “We are happy that we were able to convince EJMT with our state-of-the-art drive technology. The cooperation was excellent from the beginning, and we are confident that both cranes will provide the handling flexibility and rates EJMT is aiming for.”
ICTSI said the new MHCs are equipped with the latest diesel-electric hybrid system and combine their diesel engine and three-phase generator with a secondary power source based on electrostatic short-term energy storage media called ultracaps. The ultracaps provide short-term energy during peak power demand periods to reduce the equipment’s diesel consumption.
The hybrid MHCs are the latest additions to EJMT’s equipment fleet, which includes reach stackers, empty container handlers, container spreaders, tractors and trailers. EJMT is also set to take delivery of grabs and hoppers by late August.
ICTSI earlier said part of its approximately $450 million capital expenditure for this year is for the development of EJMT, its joint venture with East Log Holdings, an Indonesian company specializing in offshore oil and gas supply bases.
EJMT, which broke ground in October 2023, is an international gateway designed to support the thriving economies of Lamongan, Tuban and central Java through the handling of containerized, breakbulk and project cargo. Situated in Lamongan Regency 60 kilometers west of Surabaya City, the multipurpose facility sits within the 80-hectare Lamongan Shorebase complex, which supports Indonesia’s specialized offshore oil and gas industry.
