APM Terminals Maasvlakte II BV Selects Automated Horizontal Transport System from Konecranes to Double Capacity
APM Terminals Maasvlakte II B.V. has chosen an extensive Automated Horizontal Transport System from Konecranes as part of a project to double its capacity at the Port of Rotterdam, Europe’s largest port. The order from global port operator APM Terminals’ Dutch subsidiary was booked in Q3 2024, with delivery and commissioning expected to begin in 2025.
Maasvlakte II, a significant hub for global logistics, spans 180 hectares and features a 2,000m long deep-sea quay and 500m of barge quay. In early 2023, APM Terminals launched an expansion project to double its terminal capacity. Konecranes has supported APM Terminals Maasvlakte II B.V. for more than a decade and was thus chosen to play a key role in this important project.
The order is comprised of
- 71 Konecranes Lift Automated Guided Vehicles (Lift AGVs)
- TEAMS Equipment Control System
- Konecranes Battery Exchange Station
The AGVs will be part of the terminal expansion and interface to the existing equipment as well as the Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes, container stacks and existing infrastructure from Phase I.
