Cartagena set for sizable traffic boost
05 Aug 2008
Colombia’s Sociedad Portuaria Regional de Cartagena (SPRC) says it expects sizable increases in cargo traffic at the Port of Cartagena.
To meet demand, Kalmar has been awarded a contract to supply SPRC with a variety of container handling equipment for its new Contecar terminal on the Caribbean coast - continuing the 10 year relationship between the port and manufacturer.
The order includes 30 terminal tractors, seven E-One+ RTG cranes and five reachstackers. The smaller equipment is scheduled to be on-site by November, and the RTGs will be operational by May of 2009.
