Kalmar wins order for 5 zero-emission RTGs as Gdynia terminal ups capacity
FINLAND's Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has gained a further order for five of its new generation zero emission rubber-tyre gantry cranes (RTGs) from Poland's Gdynia Container Terminal (GCT).
The order follows the delivery of two similar machines earlier in 2014, said a company statement, adding that the new order was booked into Cargotec's fourth quarter intake with delivery scheduled for December 2015.
The Gdynia terminal chose a Kalmar 41-tonne capacity E-One2 Zero Emission RTG, which stacks 6+1 wide and 1-over-6 high, producing lower emissions than diesel RTGs and requires less maintenance because of its simplified design, said Kalmar.
"The electric power system completely eliminates the need for engine maintenance, which translates into much lower downtime and reduced maintenance costs," Kalmar said.
Said Kalmar Polish sales chief Jakub Wojciechowski: "It's an all-electric concept, it removes the need for hydraulics saving further costs. Our local Kalmar sales and service team in Poland ensures that Kalmar equipment delivers optimum productivity."
Said GCT chairman Jerzy Czartowski: "Kalmar has always demonstrated a thorough understanding of our operational needs and has presented solutions that precisely meet our requirements."
GCT is a full-service container facility located in the Port of Gdynia on the coast of the southern Baltic Sea. GCT serves as a feeder port connecting Poland with hubs in Bremerhaven, Hamburg and Rotterdam as well as a load centre for intra-Europe short-sea cargo.
