Konecranes reports strong port equipment deliveries despite order slowdown

Finnish lifting equipment manufacturer Konecranes reported a strong recovery in port equipment deliveries during the third quarter of 2026, although new orders in its Port Solutions business declined significantly compared with the previous year.

According to its interim financial report published on October 23, the company’s Port Solutions division recorded net sales of €420 million during July–September, representing an increase of 28.3% in comparable currencies.

However, order intake in the division declined by 36.7% in comparable currencies to €288 million, reflecting volatility in the timing of customer orders.

Despite the decline in new orders, the division’s comparable EBITA margin improved to 12.0%, compared with 11.8% in the corresponding period of 2025, supported primarily by higher delivery volumes.
