Konecranes has received its seventh portal jib order from the US Navy, completing an agreement initially announced in December 2019. This latest process crane order, worth $51.2 million, was booked in May 2026 and the jib will be delivered to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine.
The 175-ton heavy-lift portal crane will be built in Wisconsin and installed at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. The newest crane is similar to previous orders: customized design with unique features that allow the crane to operate on straight or curved tracks. The crane design can also be used globally in other naval shipyards with similar configurations. The modular configuration of the jib allows it to be modified if necessary to run on other gage sizes if moved to another shipyard in the future.
A strong focus on customers and commitment to business growth and continuous improvement make Konecranes a material handling industry leader. This is underpinned by investments in digitalization and technology, plus our work to make material flows more efficient with solutions that support the decarbonization of the economy and advance circularity and safety.
