31 DIARIO DEL PUERTO MARTES 17 JUNIO 2025 ÎEn un contexto global donde la urgencia climática marca el ritmo de transformación de los sectores productivos, la industria portuaria se posiciona como uno de los focos clave para avanzar hacia un modelo sostenible. MARINA CARTAGENA MADRID. Las emisiones generadas por las operaciones logísticas, especialmente las relacionadas con la manipulación de contenedores y equipos pesados, son un reto técnico, económico y regulatorio. En este escenario, empresas como Konecranes, Liebherr y Paceco Momentum se proponen como líderes del mercado con soluciones innovadoras que no solo cumplen con los estándares medioambientales actuales, sino que también anticipan el futuro de los puertos sin emisiones. Electrificación y neutralidad Konecranes ha sido una de las primeras compañías en alinear sus estrategias con los objetivos de reducción de emisiones validados por la iniciativa Science Based Targets (SBTi). Sus metas son claras: reducir enun 50% las emisiones de alcance 1 y 2 para 2030 (objetivo ya cumplido en 2022) y lograr la neutralidad de carbono en sus operaciones propias en esemismo horizonte temporal. Entre sus soluciones más destacadas figura la electrificación completa de su cartera de productos, con compromisos para que incluso las líneas diésel restantes tengan versiones eléctricas para 2026. Además, ha invertido en tecnologías de retrofit como los sistemas híbridos y electrificados para grúas RTG (rubber-tired gantry cranes), que permiten actualizar maquinaria existente con eficiencia energética y menores emisiones. Su sistema “Fuel Saver” reduce el consumo Konecranes ha invertido en tecnologías de retrofit como los sistemas híbridos y electrificados para grúas RTG (rubbertired gantry cranes). / Konecranes has invested in retrofit technologies such as hybrid and electrified systems for rubber-tired gantry cranes (RTG).

MARINA CARTAGENA MADRID - Emissions generated by logistics operations, especiallythoserelatedtocontainerand heavyequipmenthandling, area technical, economic and regulatory challenge. In this scenario, companies such as Konecranes, LiebherrandPacecoMomentum propose themselves as market leaderswithinnovativesolutions that not onlymeet current environmental standards, but also anticipate the future of emission-freeports. Electrification and neutrality Konecranes was one of the first companies to align its strategies with the emission reduction targets validated by the Science BasedTargets (SBTi) initiative. Its goals are clear: to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2030 (target already met in 2022) and toachievecarbonneutralityinits own operationswithin the same timehorizon. Among its most prominent solutions is the complete electrification of its product portfolio, with commitments for even the remaining diesel lines to have electric versions by 2026. In addition, it has invested in retrofit technologies such as hybrid and electrified systems for rubber-tired gantry cranes (RTGs), which allow existing machinery to be upgradedwith energy efficiency and lower emissions. Its “Fuel Saver” system reduces fuel consumption by 30%, while full electrification kits eliminate the use of diesel by cable or busbar power. According to third-party validated Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) studies, these upgrades are one of the most cost-effective and fastest ways to reduce emissions inport operations. On the other hand, digitalization also plays a central role in its strategy, with platforms that monitor energy efficiency, emissions and equipment status in real time, enabling proactive, data-driven decisions. Its predictive maintenance engine is an example of howto reduce downtimeandextendtheuseful lifeof equipment, with a direct impact onsustainability. The companyhas toldDiario delPuertothat, inorder tomanagetheareaswhereitcangenerate the greatest impact, it has made four fundamental commitments to sustainability. “We facilitate a decarbonized and circular world; provide safematerial handlingsolutions; createafair, inclusive,diverseand motivating work environment; and demand the highest ethical standards from both ourselves and our business partners,” the companydetails. “We have set targets for each commitment,aswellasprograms that ensure the implementation ofthenecessaryactions.Thisforms our sustainability strategy. Our sustainabilityapproachand objectives are aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),” he adds. Climate engineering Anotherofthecompaniesconsultedbythisnewspaper isLiebherr, which confirms that it has been committed to decarbonization longbefore it became aglobal requirement. Its approach is based ona comprehensiveperspective: from the reduction of emissions inmanufacturingtothemodular redesignof its equipment to facilitate the energy transition of its customers. In the portmobile crane segment, its “Unplugged” linestands out for operating 100% on battery power, evenwhile traveling between electrical connection points. This completely eliminates the need for diesel engines, allowing operations with zero local emissions. In addition, its hybrid systems with supercapacitorsorbatteries recoverenergy during operation, reducing fuel consumption and mechanical wear.
