Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) is significantly upgrading its Container Terminal Burchardkai (CTB) in Hamburg by integrating 116 new Li-Ion AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) from Konecranes. This move marks a crucial step towards a fully electric Automated Horizontal Transport System at the terminal. The order, placed in 2022, represents Konecranes' largest single order for Gottwald AGVs to date and is anticipated to drive greater efficiency for HHLA while supporting its ambitious target of achieving carbon neutrality by 2040. Deliveries of the AGVs will extend through 2025, bringing HHLA's total Konecranes AGV fleet to over 200 vehicles. These Konecranes Gottwald AGVs are deployed for automated container handling within the Waltershofer Hafen container hub, which boasts a total quay length of 3.6 kilometers. The delivery package also includes a CE TYPE Approved Interchange and Fence Control safety system. This system is seamlessly integrated with CTB's quay cranes and automated stacking cranes, ensuring safe and efficient operations from the shipside to the landside. Ingo Witte, General Manager of HHLA Container Terminal Burchardkai, emphasized the terminal's transformation from manual, diesel-powered operations to a fully electric and automated future. He stated, "We are nearing the completion of our conversion from manual straddle carrier operations to automated, emission-free AGVs between the quay and storage blocks. Konecranes has played a pivotal role in supporting us to achieve our ambitious carbon-reduction goals. HHLA aims to be carbon neutral by 2040." The long-standing, 20-year collaboration with Konecranes also encompasses joint research and development efforts on AGV battery technology.
