In December 2015, Konecranes received an order for four more RTGs from TCV Stevedoring Company S.A. in Valencia, Spain. This will be Konecranes’ seventh RTG delivery to TCV. When the four RTGs on order go into operation, TCV will operate a fleet of 24 Konecranes RTGs. The cranes will be delivered in the first quarter of 2017. 

“Our cooperation with TCV Stevedoring Company spans over a decade, and it keeps getting stronger. The first Konecranes RTGs were ordered and delivered in 2004,” says Kim Salvén, Sales Director Europe, Konecranes, Port Cranes. “TCV’s trust in us is based on the excellent performance of our equipment and the high quality of our service. Trust must be earned, and we’ll keep earning TCV’s trust.”
