Cargotec secures major port crane orders to Mexico and Philippines
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE, 12 JANUARY 2012 AT 1 P.M. (EET)
Cargotec has received two separate orders from one of the world's leading
container terminal operators, International Container Services Inc (ICTSI). The
orders will see in total four ship-to-shore cranes and 10 rubber tyred gantry
(RTGs) cranes delivered to Mexico and eight RTGs cranes to Philippines. The
parties have agreed not to disclose the total value of the orders. The orders
have been booked during the fourth quarter of 2011.
The order calls for the delivery of four Kalmar Super Post Panamax ship-to-shore
cranes and 10 Kalmar E-One(2) RTGs cranes to Mexico during first half of 2013.
The STS cranes will have an outreach of 63 m, a 30,5 m rail span and their
maximum lift capacity will be 65 tonnes under the Bromma twin-lift spreaders.
The RTGs cranes will be 6+1 wide and 1-over-6 high with a lift capacity of 41
tonnes. ICTSI's Contecon Manzanillo facility is a new, wholly-owned container
terminal under construction on Mexico's Pacific coast, where work has started on
a first phase development that will see 450,000 teu of capacity available within
two years.
Meanwhile, the eight Kalmar E-One(2) RTGs due delivery to MICT during 2012 are
part of a planned expansion at the Philippines-based container hub's Berth 6,
where capacity is set to grow from the current 1.9 million teu per year to 2.5
million teu. The Berth 6 will begin operations in June 2012. MICT currently
accounts for 63% of the container traffic moving through Manila. The RTGs cranes
will be 6+1 wide and 1-over-5 high with a lift capacity of 41 tonnes. ICTSI
expects the RTGs to cut fuel costs by at least 20 percent.
"These contracts reflect the growing relationship between ICTSI and Cargotec,"
said Björn Jonasson, Sales Director, APAC from Cargotec. "They represent a clear
endorsement of the reliability of the Kalmar container handling equipment we
have supplied to date, and show that fuel efficiency and timely delivery are
very important to our customers who operate various terminals globally."
ICTSI, whose 22 terminals in 17 countries handled almost 2.5 million teu in
container traffic in the first half of 2011, is a longstanding Cargotec customer
for container handling equipment. As well as operating Kalmar RTGs at the Baltic
Container Terminal, Poland, the port operator uses Kalmar mobile container
handling equipment at various locations as part of its terminal activities
worldwide.
