IRISH EYES SMILING FOR KALMAR
Kalmar has confirmed an agreement to supply five new auto-radioisotope thermoelectric generator RTG units over the course of the next two years to Dublin Ferryport Terminals (DFT).
The subsidiary of Cargotec has previously suppled this Irish terminal operator with four Kalmar AutoRTG cranes, which offer features such as fully automated stack operation and remote-controlled truck handling, controlled via three remote control desks.
The equipment manufacturer also provides all service, maintenance and technical support to the terminal. In addition, the Kalmar AutoRTG application, powered by the Kalmar One automation system, means that DFT can automate its operations at its own pace by using predefined AutoRTG blueprints.
Alex Covin, Container Terminal Director, DFT is expecting the new equipment to help improve safety and operational efficiency. “Throughout our long-term partnership, Kalmar has proven its commitment and expertise in delivering terminal automation technologies, so it was only natural for us to turn to them when the time came to further extend our AutoRTG system at Dublin Port,” he notes
