Cargotec secures major port crane orders to Mexico and Philippines

Cargotec has received two separate orders from one of the world's leading container terminal operators, International Container Services Inc (ICTSI). The orders will see in total four ship-to-shore cranes and 10 rubber tyred gantry (RTGs) cranes delivered to Mexico and eight RTGs cranes to Philippines. The parties have agreed not to disclose the total value of the orders. The orders have been booked during the fourth quarter of 2011.

The order calls for the delivery of four Kalmar Super Post Panamax ship-to-shore cranes and 10 Kalmar E-One2 RTGs cranes to Mexico during first half of 2013. The STS cranes will have an outreach of 63 m, a 30,5 m rail span and their maximum lift capacity will be 65 tonnes under the Bromma twin-lift spreaders. The RTGs cranes will be 6+1 wide and 1-over-6 high with a lift capacity of 41 tonnes. ICTSI's Contecon Manzanillo facility is a new, wholly-owned container terminal under construction on Mexico's Pacific coast, where work has started on a first phase development that will see 450,000 teu of capacity available within two years.

Meanwhile, the eight Kalmar E-One2 RTGs due delivery to MICT during 2012 are part of a planned expansion at the Philippines-based container hub's Berth 6, where capacity is set to grow from the current 1.9 million teu per year to 2.5 million teu. The Berth 6 will begin operations in June 2012. MICT currently accounts for 63% of the container traffic moving through Manila. The RTGs cranes will be 6+1 wide and 1-over-5 high with a lift capacity of 41 tonnes. ICTSI expects the RTGs to cut fuel costs by at least 20 percent.

"These contracts reflect the growing relationship between ICTSI and Cargotec," said Björn Jonasson, Sales Director, APAC from Cargotec. "They represent a clear endorsement of the reliability of the Kalmar container handling equipment we have supplied to date, and show that fuel efficiency and timely delivery are very important to our customers who operate various terminals globally."

ICTSI, whose 22 terminals in 17 countries handled almost 2.5 million teu in container traffic in the first half of 2011, is a longstanding Cargotec customer for container handling equipment. As well as operating Kalmar RTGs at the Baltic Container Terminal, Poland, the port operator uses Kalmar mobile container handling equipment at various locations as part of its terminal activities worldwide.
