(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE, 3 SEPTEMBER 2012 AT NOON (EEST)
Cargotec has received a major order to deliver 44 automated straddle carriers
(AutoStrad®) and related automation technology to Asciano's Container Terminal
at Port Botany in Sydney, Australia. The deliveries of Kalmar ESC350WA straddle
carriers are scheduled between end of 2013 and early 2014.
"Automation has already proven its efficiency in Asciano's Container Terminal at
Fisherman Island's in Brisbane, the world's first fully automated terminal with
radar based navigation technology. With this deal we will provide both the
technology and equipment to the second terminal that will be totally operated
with our AutoStrad® system. With operations and unique automation competencies
in the Sydney area, Cargotec is perfectly located to supply a total solution
including equipment, services and automation solution, pre-integrated with each
other," says Peter McLean, Vice President, Australia and New Zealand at
Cargotec.
The cooperation between Cargotec and Asciano's Container Terminal division,
Patrick, spans over a quarter of a century. Automated straddle carrier trial
operations were initiated in 2000 and, following their success, the machines
commenced large-scale commercial operations in Brisbane in December 2005. The
companies developed the AutoStrad® system in partnership until June 2012, when
Cargotec acquired the automation technology assets including the AutoStrad®
trademark and a transfer of 23 employees from Asciano.
