Konecranes gains ground in Peru with order for ESP.6 mobile harbor crane

Terminal Internacional del Sur (Tisur) has invested in a Konecranes Gottwald ESP.6 Mobile Harbor Crane for the Port of Matarani in southern Peru. Booked in Q3 2026, the order marks Konecranes’ first sale of a factory-new mobile harbor crane in Peru. The equipment is expected to be operational by the end of Q1 2027.

The new order forms part of Tisur’s USD 598 million investment program, aimed at modernizing the Port of Matarani. With a maximum lifting capacity of 125 tons, the Konecranes Gottwald ESP.6 Mobile Harbor Crane will be used to handle containers, general cargo and project cargo at the multipurpose terminal.

Tisur already operates a pre-owned Konecranes Gottwald Mobile Harbor Crane manufactured in the 1990s. The port operator’s positive experience with that equipment helped to lay the foundation for its purchase of the ESP.6 crane, in what marks a significant breakthrough for Konecranes’ mobile harbor crane business in Peru.

“Our existing crane has proven its reliability over many years. We wanted to build on that experience with a new, high-performance crane to support our ambitious plans for the port. The excellent advice and strong local service support from Konecranes were also key factors in our decision,” says Mauricio Nuñez del Prado, General Manager of Tisur.
