DP World has ordered 81 Kalmar Ottawa T2 terminal tractors for its South Container Terminal (SCT) in the multipurpose Jeddah Islamic Port, Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n
Mohammad Alshaikh, CEO DP World Jeddah and Country Head KSA, said: \u201cThe new equipment procured from Kalmar and added to our equipment portfolio will further accelerate DP World Jeddah\u2019s SCT development plans, which aim to further enhance its infrastructure capabilities and technology driven services to continue providing our customers with seamless quality services.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis will ensure that DP World Jeddah continues to strengthen and grow Jeddah\u2019s Islamic Port position and capabilities as a key strategic port in KSA and the region.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Kalmar Ottawa T2 combines power, functionality and performance with excellent ergonomics and easy maintenance access. The 81 units delivered to SCT will incorporate a range of additional safety features including an automatic fire extinguisher system, a reverse warning system and a drive speed limiter system.<\/p>\n
In addition to Kalmar terminal tractors, the current equipment fleet at SCT includes Kalmar reachstackers and empty container handlers.<\/p>\n
