Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has been awarded an order to supply DP World's
flagship terminal, Jebel Ali Port in Dubai, with the new generation empty

2017 and they are scheduled to be completed by the end of 2017.
Commenting on the order, Suresh Ananthanarayan, Kalmar's Key Account Manager for
DP World, said: "This is the first order of Kalmar's new range of empty

the requirements for the region's busiest and most demanding port and
