CARGOTEC has received an order for 14 Kalmar automatic stacking cranes and 14 Kalmar one-over-one shuttle carriers from DP World Brisbane Pty Ltd in Australia for an undisclosed purchase price.
The equipment will be installed at the Port of Brisbane. DP World Brisbane will also be using Navis Sparcs N4 TOS in their terminal expansion. Deliveries of the equipment are scheduled for 2013 and early 2014.
"The Port of Brisbane is the fastest growing port in Australia and is therefore of key significance to DP World. Cargotec's package delivery of cranes and the ease of integration with Navis terminal automation solution, combined with strong local service support were the main factors that enabled negotiations to achieve such positive results," said Peter McLean, vice president, Australia and New Zealand.
"We are expanding our terminal in Brisbane through the development of new yard area, and decided to opt for automatic stacking cranes and manual shuttle carriers to maximise the capacity and efficiency, focused on the growing needs of our customers," said Mark Hulme, director and general manager, DP World Brisbane.
