Kalmar to deliver 18 forklift trucks to Algerian ports
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, PRESS RELEASE, 6 NOVEMBER 2014 AT 1 PM (EET)
Kalmar, part of Cargotec, is delivering 18 forklift trucks to four different
port authorities in Algeria: Algiers, Bejaia, Djen Djen and Mostaganem. The
order was awarded by the Algerian port procurement company, Groupement D'Interêt
Commun Des Entreprises Portuaires (GICEP) in April 2014. The order inspection
and customer training took place in October and the deliveries to the ports
have started.
GICEP groups together all public ports in Algeria, handling approximately
800,000 TEU annually. Their operations also include stevedoring and general
cargo handling. The new Kalmar equipment will help reduce cargo dwell times and
increase storage capacity at the ports. Kalmar's previous delivery to Algeria
included 25 reachstackers to five different ports in 2013.
Mr Saidi Mabrouk, General Manager at GICEP, commented: "Our ports are investing
considerably to add handling capacity and modernise fleets. After the good
experience with our previous orders for Kalmar reachstackers, we are convinced
that we have made the right choice. We trust in Kalmar's capability to build
reliable and quality equipment. Having a partner who can ensure excellent
technical support locally is also highly important for us."
The delivery includes four medium forklifts and 14 heavy forklift trucks: four
Kalmar DCE160-12 medium range units, six Kalmar DCF180-12 forklift trucks, three
Kalmar DCF330-12 and DCF420-12 units as well as one Kalmar DCF520-12. Five units
are equipped with an attachment for coil handling. The delivery includes a spare
parts package.
Eduardo Arus, Sales Manager, Kalmar West Africa and Maghreb, said: "We are
extremely happy to continue cooperation with GICEP and pleased that the customer
appreciates the quality of our equipment and service. The machines will be
working in demanding port environment. The Kalmar forklift trucks have been
tested in the toughest of jobs and are known for their reliability, flexibility
and performance."
