Yucatán Deep-Water Port Places Order for 2 Konecranes Gottwald ESP.7 Mobile Harbor Cranes
Terminal de Contenedores de Yucatán, S.A. de C.V. (APM Terminals Yucatán) has ordered 2 Konecranes Gottwald ESP.7 Mobile Harbor Cranes, each configured to match with the local infrastructure and equipped with an external power supply to support the terminal’s decarbonization strategy. The order was booked in Q4 2025 and the cranes will be delivered to Puerto Progreso at the end of September 2026. The Port of Progreso is the main maritime gateway of the Yucatán Peninsula, connecting its textile and manufacturing industries with the U.S. As the port’s only dedicated container terminal, APM Terminals Yucatán plays a central role in foreign trade across the southern region of Mexico. The Konecranes Gottwald ESP.7 mobile harbor cranes form a major part of a modernization and capacity-building program underway at the port.
“Our terminal is advancing through a significant long-term investment program, and these 2 cranes represent important milestones along that path. We already operate earlier-generation Konecranes Gottwald mobile harbor cranes, so we are familiar with their reliability and performance. Konecranes was the natural choice for our next phase of growth,” said Victor Peter Konen, managing director and COO of APM Terminals Yucatán. “These customized cranes combine high performance with the option of fully electric operation, aligning perfectly with the terminal’s long-term vision. We appreciate the trust placed in our technology and look forward to continuing our the modernization and ongoing operations at the Port of Progreso,” said Marc Wellenberg, regional sales manager at Port Solutions, Konecranes.
