Efficiency savings<\/strong><\/p>\n Westport offers services connected to the ports of Risavika outside Stavanger and Dokken in Bergen. Its equipment fleet currently includes two Kalmar Gloria reachstackers, which are shortly to be joined by a Kalmar Eco Reachstacker as part of Westport\u2019s efforts to decarbonise its operations by 2030.<\/p>\n Kalmar introduced its new range of electric reachstackers to the market in December 2021. The Kalmar Electric Reachstacker ordered by Westport has a maximum lifting capacity of 45 tonnes and is capable of stacking five high and three rows deep.<\/p>\n The 326 kWh lithium-ion battery is covered by a five-year warranty and has an expected first life of 10 to 12 years. The battery capacity is sufficient to cover a full working shift, with charging performed during scheduled breaks using CCS chargers with a maximum capacity of 350 kW, which Kalmar said is a newcharging standard.<\/p>\n \u201cKalmar and Westport are united by a firm commitment to reduce carbon emissions in the port and terminal industry. Westport has set ambitious emission-reduction targets, and is showing great leadership by adding electric reachstackers to their fleet in order to reach their net zero emission target,\u201d said Alf-Gunnar Karlgren, Vice President, Counterbalanced Container Handlers, Kalmar Mobile Solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Norwegian port operator has ordered electric reachstackers to support its decarbonisation efforts<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":1886,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[62],"tags":[232,167,234,233,23,71,235],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-1885","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-equipment","tag-cargotec","tag-efficiency","tag-electric-reachstackers","tag-kalmar","tag-port-equipment","tag-sustainability","tag-westport"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1885","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1885"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1885\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1887,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1885\/revisions\/1887"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1886"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1885"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1885"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1885"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=1885"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
