Kalmar supports Marsa Maroc expansion
Kalmar has inked a new agreement for the supply of seven Kalmar rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) cranes to the new Terminal a Conteneurs 3 (TC3 PC) in Casablanca, Morocco.
The equipment will be deployed with the E-One2 RTGs with Kalmar SmartRail Container Position Indication (CPI), a real-time system to track and report container lifts and sets, and Kalmar SmartFleet, a remote monitoring and analysis tool.
“Marsa Maroc is one of our long-standing customers in Maghreb region”, said Eduardo Arus, Sales Manager at Kalmar West Africa and Maghreb. “We’re naturally very pleased that our solution and service capability met their criteria.”
The contract also includes Kalmar Care service and support for two years, as well as Bromma spare spreaders and spare parts.
Marsa Maroc is responding to the increasing capacity demand in Morocco with the introduction of the new terminal in Casablanca, which should be completed at the end of 2016.
