Hamburger Hafen orders 11 diesel-electric Kalmar straddle carriers
KALMAR, part of Cargotec, has won an order for 11 diesel-electric straddle carriers from Hamburger Hafen und Logistik after an order placed by HHLA last year for nine machines.
Established in 1968, HHLA Container Terminal Burchardkai (CTB) is the largest facility for container handling at the port of Hamburg, with an annual capacity of three million TEU.
CTB was the first terminal to introduce the straddle carrier concept as well as a unique automatic stacking crane (ASC) concept featuring three cranes per block. The new units will be used to transport containers from the port's ship-to-shore cranes to the ASCs.
Managing director Jens Hansen of Container Terminal Burchardkai said: "We're facing increasing pressure to reduce operating costs and cut noise and emissions, so it's vital that our straddle carrier equipment helps us achieve these targets."
Said Kalmar vice president, Tero Kokko: "HHLA has been a Kalmar customer for many years, and we look forward to further strengthening this prestigious relationship in the future and continuing to support HHLA in achieving its business goals."
