In Germany, Eurogate Terminal Solutions has ordered four Automated Stacking Cranes (ASCs) from Konecranes for the Container Terminal Wilhelmshaven, with delivery expected in the second quarter of 2028. This order includes an option for four more cranes for the Container Terminal Hamburg as part of a strategy to advance terminal automation and integrate new equipment with existing control systems.
