Kalmar has strengthened its footprint in Europe with two key deals focused on improving operational efficiency and environmental performance in the port logistics sector.
In the Netherlands, Kalmar has concluded a repeat order with Rotterdam Shortsea Terminals (RST) for five hybrid straddle carriers, scheduled for delivery in Q3 2026.
The order includes the MyKalmar INSIGHT performance management tool and is part of RST’s fleet renewal programme aimed at boosting capacity while reducing emissions.
“These new hybrid machines represent yet another concrete step forward as we continue to improve our environmental performance with Kalmar as our long-term partner,” said Arno Storm, chief executive, RST.
“Hybrid technology is a perfect fit for our operations, helping us to reduce fuel consumption and emissions without compromising equipment performance or service quality.”
Damien Cols, director global customers at Kalmar, added, “With MyKalmar INSIGHT deployed across the fleet, RST can further improve operational efficiency based on real-world data.”
Meanwhile, in southern Spain, Kalmar has signed a three-year Kalmar Care maintenance contract with Noatum T Malaga, operator of the Noatum Ports Malaga Terminal – a key Mediterranean logistics hub. The service agreement, effective from September 2025, includes full preventive and corrective maintenance across the terminal’s equipment fleet.
“By choosing Kalmar as our service partner, we rely on a reputable company with deep technical expertise that can take our terminal’s performance to a higher, more efficient level,” said César Cegarra, director of Noatum T Malaga.
Sergio Peralta, country director for Spain & Portugal, Kalmar, added, “This agreement showcases the value of Kalmar Care as a comprehensive service solution, ensuring availability, reliability and environmental gains.”
