美國德克薩斯州的休斯頓港為其旗下的Barbours Cut集裝箱碼頭和Bayport集裝箱碼頭分別訂購了14臺和12臺科尼混合動力型輪胎式集裝箱門式起重機（RTG）。此次訂購將助力休斯頓港實現(xiàn)其擴建計劃，以做好充分準備去接納更大型的集裝箱船舶，以及應(yīng)對不斷增長的集裝箱裝卸業(yè)務(wù)量。該訂單是科尼集團于2022年第三季度簽訂的。該批起重機將于2023年下半年開始交付，直至2024年中期交付完畢。

Port Houston in Texas, USA, has ordered 14 hybrid Konecranes RTGs for its Barbours Cut Container Terminal and 12 hybrid Konecranes RTGs for its Bayport Container Terminal. The order supports the port’s expansion as it gets ready to receive larger container ships and higher volumes of container traffic. The order was booked in Q3 2022. The crane deliveries will start in the last half of 2023 and continue to mid-2024.

此次訂購的科尼混合動力型RTG采用了鋰離子電池技術(shù)和電池管理系統(tǒng)，可監(jiān)測電池的充電情況和總體運行狀況。科尼集團可以通過TRUCONNECT?遠程監(jiān)控系統(tǒng)監(jiān)控該系統(tǒng)的狀態(tài)?；旌蟿恿ο到y(tǒng)為完全模塊化且可進行改裝。該系統(tǒng)包含一臺生態(tài)高效的Tier 4f柴油發(fā)動機，在必要時可為電池充電。

The hybrid Konecranes RTGs on order feature advanced Li-ion battery technology and a battery management system that monitors the charge level and general health of the batteries. Konecranes can monitor the status of this system via TRUCONNECT? remote connection. The hybrid power system is completely modular and retrofittable. It includes an eco-efficient Tier 4f diesel engine that will charge the batteries when necessary.

這批RTG的起重能力將達到50噸，堆垛高度為1過5個集裝箱，跨度為6排集裝箱加卡車道。同時配備科尼主動負荷控制系統(tǒng)，以防止集裝箱搖晃。此外，還將具備以下智能功能：自動糾偏功能、堆垛防碰撞裝置和集卡防起升裝置。

The RTGs will have a lifting capacity of 50 tons while stacking containers 1-over-5 high and 6 plus truck lane wide. They will be equipped with the Active Load Control system, which eliminates container sway. They also include the following smart features: Auto-steering, Stack Collision Prevention and Truck Lift Prevention.

“休斯頓港一直致力于提高生產(chǎn)率和集裝箱起重機的生態(tài)效益。科尼混合動力型RTG的可靠性、生產(chǎn)力和生態(tài)效益已得到認可，而休斯頓港的這份新訂單就是有力的例證?！笨颇岣劭诮鉀Q方案區(qū)域銷售副總裁Jussi Suhonen說道。

“Port Houston is forging ahead in both productivity and container crane eco-efficiency. Hybrid Konecranes RTGs have a proven track record, and this new order from Port Houston exemplifies this,” says Jussi Suhonen, VP Regional Sales, Port Solutions, Konecranes.
