Demand For Ship-to-Shore Cranes Market To Gain Momentum During The Forecast Period 2027


Expanding cargo transportation which plays an important role in global trade as it is a cheaper and more efficient way to transport goods is driving the growth of the ship-to-shore cranes market. According to Eurostat, in 2018, the total weight of goods transported in the EU as part of the short sea shipped was pegged at over 1.7 billion tons, increasing from 1.65 billion tons in 2015. According to the same source, in 2018, Italy was the major short sea shipping country with over 15% of the total tonnage in EU short sea shipping. High demand for large-sized vessels is again contributing to the growth of the market. HMM, Algeciras has launched a mega-ship of course, or more precisely, an Ultra Large Container Vessel (ULCV) that is around 400 meters long, 60 meters wide, and 70 meters high in size. The increasing adoption of electric container cranes is further projected to augment the growth of the market. For instance, in April 2020, Teesport Port, U.K. installed three electric cranes to reduce its port’s carbon footprint and comply with the international standard for energy management systems ISO: 50001.

  1. In April 2018, Liebherr introduced a new purely electric port crane LPS 420 E

  2. In May 2018, APM Terminals Moin, Costa Rica received second delivery of ship-to-shore and electric rubber-tire gantry cranes (ERTGs)

  3. In April 2017, Kalmar received a contract from Rotterdam Short Sea Terminal B.V. for new Kalmar ship-to-shore cranes

Europe is expected to hold the dominant position in the global ship-to-shore cranes market and this is accredited to the increasing focus of the key players to increase the production capacity of the ship-to-ship crane. For instance, in January 2020, Konecranes, a Finland-based crane manufacturer, received a contract from Turkish port operator Yilport Holding to revamp 23 cranes at Taranto Port, in Italy.

A ship-to-shore crane is a kind of large dockside Gantry crane used in most modern dockyards for unloading and loading trucks and other intermodal cargo containers from sea vessels to shore-based car haulers. This crane system allows for the movement of heavy loads from one area to another with maximum efficiency and reduced manpower requirements. Modern Ship-to-Shore Cranes are generally wheeled or telescopic, making them easy to install and move around. They also have high-angle landing gears for improved safety. There are two types of the main equipment that Ship-to-Shore Cranes can be fitted with - boom and deck-mounted cranes.
