Kalmar has received a strategic equipment order for 27 new pieces of mobile port equipment.
The order for Yilport Holding is for 20 Eco reachstackers, four empty container handlers and three forklift trucks.
“Our continued collaboration with Kalmar has been extremely beneficial for our business operations at all our terminals. The high-quality local after sales support at all our locations is helping to keep our fleet running smoothly at all times,” said Raymond Höhle, CTO, Yilport.
Equipment continuity
Yilport Holding was established in August 2011 as a subsidiary to consolidate the port and container terminal operations of the Yildrim Group. Today, it operates 22 marine ports and terminals globally: five in Turkey, seven in Portugal, two in Spain, two in Sweden and one each in Norway, Malta, Italy, Peru, Ecuador and Guatemala.
In addition, Yilport operates five dry terminals in Turkey and one in Sweden.
The new equipment will go into operation at Yilport Gebze and Gemport in Turkey, Gävle Terminal in Sweden, Taranto Terminal in Italy and the Setúbal, Liscont and Sotagus terminals in Portugal.
The agreement also includes extended warranty and service contracts for all equipment.
“With our holistic and flexible offering we can address all of Yilport’s requirements and respond quickly to meet their changing needs,” said Jürgen Wurzer, director, key account industry, Kalmar.
Delivery of the new equipment is scheduled to start in the third quarter of 2022 through the first quarter of 2023.
