Twin Gottwalds for Chile: TPA Orders Two Konecranes Gottwald ESP.10 Mobile Harbour Cranes

Chilean maritime company Terminal Puerto Arica (TPA) has ordered two 125 tonne Konecranes Gottwald ESP.10 mobile harbour cranes, strengthening its ability to handle larger vessels and a wider range of cargo at the Port of Arica.

30-Second Takeaway Terminal Puerto Arica (TPA) has placed an order for two 125 tonne Konecranes Gottwald ESP.10 mobile harbour cranes, the largest model in the manufacturer’s range. The cranes are configured with 10 metre tower extensions, a maximum radius of 64 metres, and elevated operator cabs set at 43 metres to support work on nine-container-high, 22-row Super Post Panamax vessels. The units are expected to be operational by January next year, expanding TPA’s cargo-handling capability for northern Chile, Peru, and Bolivia. TPA Expands Capacity with Twin Gottwald Orders Terminal Puerto Arica (TPA) has ordered two 125 tonne Konecranes Gottwald ESP.10 mobile harbour cranes, marking a major equipment investment for the Chilean port operator. The ESP.10 is the largest model in the manufacturer’s mobile harbour crane portfolio. For TPA, the cranes will be supplied with a 10 metre tower extension, enabling them to work larger container vessels carrying nine-container-high, 22-row stacks on Super Post Panamax vessels. This latest investment reflects TPA’s ongoing strategy to increase vessel-handling capability while maintaining operational flexibility across multiple cargo categories. Heavy Lift and Long-Reach Performance The two new Konecranes Gottwald cranes will feature a maximum radius of 64 metres, giving the port greater reach for larger ships and more demanding cargo operations. According to the supplied configuration, each crane can handle: 125 tonnes at a 30 metre radius 100 tonnes at a 36 metre radius The operator’s cab on both cranes will be installed at the maximum 43 metre height, supporting improved visibility for high-stack container operations. The cranes are scheduled to enter service by January next year. Supporting Larger Vessels at Port of Arica TPA said the order is aligned with its long-term development strategy as it prepares for continued growth in vessel size and cargo complexity. TPA chief executive Camilo Jobet said: “Our investment strategy has always focused on increasing our ability to serve larger vessels, while maintaining flexibility across different cargo types. Konecranes equipment has proven to be reliable over the years. The company’s technical expertise is key in helping us to select the optimal configuration for our next phase of growth.” The investment underlines the importance of mobile harbour cranes in ports looking to expand without sacrificing versatility across container, project cargo, and general cargo operations. Longstanding Konecranes Relationship The latest order also continues a long-running relationship between TPA and Konecranes. The port first added Konecranes Gottwald mobile harbour cranes around 20 years ago, when it took delivery of two Generation 4 units. A further Generation 5 crane followed about 10 years later. This new order for twin ESP.10 mobile harbour cranes builds on that installed base and signals TPA’s confidence in the manufacturer’s equipment and technical support. Strategic Role of Arica in Regional Trade Located in northern Chile on the Peruvian border, the Port of Arica plays a strategic role in regional logistics. The port supports container and cargo flows serving northern Chile, Peru, and Bolivia. With the addition of two high-capacity mobile harbour cranes, TPA is positioning itself to improve service levels for larger ships while strengthening its role as a key maritime gateway for the region.

The terminal handles a mix of containerised cargo and other freight, and has continued investing in infrastructure and equipment to support larger vessels and evolving cargo requirements.
