Kalmar equipment steps up development at leading Chile port
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, PRESS RELEASE, 27 AUGUST 2015 AT 10 AM (EEST)
Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has received an order from Puerto Central S.A (PCE) in
San Antonio, Chile for 24 Kalmar Ottawa T2 terminal tractors and three Kalmar
DCG160-12 forklift trucks. The order was signed in June 2015 with delivery
expected in November 2015.
As part of the plan to become one of the largest container terminals in Chile,
PCE is building a new multipurpose terminal with a 15m draft, allowing the port
to handle Post-Panamax ships. Phase 1 of the project, which will transform
Puerto Central into a multipurpose terminal with a capacity of 1.3 million TEUs,
has already benefitted from the delivery of seven Kalmar E-One2 rubber-tyred
gantry cranes (RTGs) in July 2015. In addition, the terminal operates with eight
Kalmar Ottawa terminal tractors.
Mauricio Argandona, Operations Manager of Puerto Central S.A., commented:
"Kalmar's new-generation terminal tractors and forklift trucks are highly
reliable products that allow us to start the next phase of our project and
ensure its success in the short and long run. We have a commitment to becoming
one of the largest ports in Chile and yet again Kalmar has provided the best
equipment solutions in a short delivery time."
Alexandre Esse, Commercial Manager at Kalmar Brazil, said: "We are delighted to
receive this repeat order from PCE as an endorsement of the superior quality
products we build and the reliability of Kalmar as a supplier. The final
commissioning and handover of our RTG cranes, manufactured at Rainbow-Cargotec
Industries in China, were done in July on time and according to the original
plan. Once again we are committed to delivering state-of-the-art machines which
provide a level of productivity and efficiency that meets their needs in this
critical next stage of expansion."
