Oran orders seven SmartPort cranes
Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has received an order for seven rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) cranes following a tender launched by the Algerian port procurement company Groupement DInterêt Commun Des Entreprises Portuaires (GICEP).
The order, worth approximately €10m, was booked into Cargotec’s 2016 fourth quarter order intake and the equipment will be delivered to the Port of Oran Container Terminal during the third quarter of 2017.
The order includes seven Kalmar E-One2 RTGs, each with a 45-tonne capacity, a six plus one span and a hoisting height of one over five containers.
The delivery will also include three Kalmar SmartPort process automation systems: Kalmar SmartProfile, Kalmar SmartRail and Kalmar SmartFleet.
Timo Alho, vice president of Intelligent Crane Solutions at Kalmar, said: “We are happy to see our Kalmar E-One² RTGs with SmartPort to join the most recent order of 25 Kalmar forklift trucks acquired earlier this year by GICEP on behalf of the port companies.
“We will continue to work closely with GICEP and look forward to our solutions playing a productive part in the future success of the Port of Oran.”
