Kalmar receives repeat order for nine Zero Emission RTGs from COSCO's Piraeus Container Terminal
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, PRESS RELEASE, 27 OCTOBER 2014 AT 9 AM (EET)
Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has signed a repeat order for nine all-electric
rubber-tyred gantry cranes (RTGs) with Piraeus Container Terminal (PCT) S.A. in
Greece, a wholly-owned subsidiary of COSCO Pacific Limited. The cranes, four of
which are the world's widest, will help the port meet its twin goals of
increasing both capacity and savings. The deliveries are scheduled for 2015.
This order further consolidates Kalmar's partnership with the terminal, as Mr Li
Jianchun, Deputy General Manager of PCT, explains: "We currently operate Kalmar
RTGs, straddle carriers, reachstackers, forklift trucks, empty container
handlers and terminal tractors. The latest Kalmar E-One(2) Zero Emission RTGs go
beyond regular stacking capacity, with four of the units 10+1 wide and five 9+1
wide, which will help us maximise space utilisation in the container yard."
"Fitted with the Kalmar SmartRail automatic gantry steering system, these new
cranes offer an exceptional solution to our stringent requirements for safe
operation around the yard, high capacity, reduced carbon emissions and lower
costs of ownership. The Kalmar E-One(2) Zero Emission RTG applies new
technologies without compromising terminal productivity, reliability or
flexibility, which we consider to be tremendous achievements," Mr Li concludes.
The order follows the delivery of 12 Zero Emission Kalmar RTGs to the terminal
in 2013.
The Kalmar E-One(2) RTG has a 41-ton SWL capacity and meets all the latest
environmental demands. The highly efficient electric power system eliminates all
emissions, engine noise and the need for hydraulic oils. It also helps the model
achieve an industry-leading maintenance interval of 1,000 hours.
