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.
