This large order was booked in owner Cargotec\u2019s Q4 2023 intake with delivery scheduled during Q3 of 2024.<\/p>\n
Owned jointly by Katoen Natie (80%) and the National Port Authority (20%), TCP is investing more than US$500 million in the expansion of the specialised container terminal.<\/p>\n
The project, scheduled for completion in 2026, stands to triple the port\u2019s capacity to 2.3 million teu and involves the construction of a 730 metre quay wall and enlargement of the existing container yard.<\/p>\n
Kenny Pauwels, general manager, TCP said the project would position Montevideo as a regional hub. \u201cThis investment will allow for higher volumes, bigger vessel sizes and additional services at our terminal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cKalmar\u2019s eco-efficient hybrid solutions will allow us to improve productivity at TCP while reducing equipment fuel consumption and CO2 emissions,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
After the expansion the terminal at Montevideo will be capable of handling three or four vessels simultaneously. As part of the agreement with the Uruguayan government, Katoen Natie will receive a 50-year extension to its current terminal concession, due to expire in 2031.<\/p>\n
The new hybrid straddle carriers of 60 tonne capacity are part of a fleet renewal programme aimed at improving TCP\u2019s environmental performance. The order also includes performance management tool, Kalmar Insight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
