Konecranes has signed a wide-ranging service agreement with Meyer Turku shipyard in Finland for the maintenance and optimization of approximately 200 cranes spanning smaller units handling just 63 kg to a massive 1,200-tonne Goliath gantry crane. The four-year deal was booked in June 2025 and work is now underway.
The service agreement includes a comprehensive operational maintenance, repair and readiness plan for the different cranes and equipment in the shipyard. Meyer Turku Oy is a cornerstone of Finland’s maritime industry with a legacy spanning nearly 300 years. A Konecranes customer since building their shipyard in 1976, Meyer Turku has constructed over 1,300 vessels to date including Royal Caribbean International’s massive Icon of the Seas and has some 2,000 employees.
