Chile's Puerto terminal in San Antonio expands with new Kalmar equipment
CHILE's Puerto Central terminal in San Antonio has placed an order for 24 Kalmar Ottawa T2 terminal tractors and three Kalmar DCG160-12 forklift trucks. Delivery is expected in November to turn the facility into one of the largest container terminals in the South American nation.
PCE is building a new multi-purpose terminal with a 15-metre draft, allowing the port to handle postpanamax ships. Phase one of the expansion project will give the terminal a capacity of 1.3 million TEU, after already receiving seven E-One2 rubber-tyre gantry cranes in July. The terminal already operates with eight Ottawa terminal tractors.
PCE operations manager Mauricio Argandona said: "New-generation terminal tractors and forklift trucks are highly reliable products that allow us to start the next phase of our project and ensure its success in the short and long run. We have a commitment to becoming one of the largest ports in Chile."
The final commissioning and handover of the RTG cranes, manufactured at Rainbow-Cargotec Industries in China, were done in July.
