almar, part of Cargotec, has signed a contract to supply Kingston Freeport Terminal Limited (KFTL) in Jamaica, with
four diesel-electric straddle carriers with delivery expected in Q3 2022. KFTL is a strategic transhipment hub in the Caribbean, located at the exit of the Panama Canal and the crossroads of the North/South and East/West lines. The terminal was established in 2015, and is part of Terminal Link, a joint venture between The CMA CGM Group. “Kalmar convinced us with their
strong local support, proactive customer service and industry-leading straddle carrier technology. We have been pleased with our Kalmar equipment in the past, and trust that the newer- generation straddle carriers will bring us high reliability and improved efficiency for our operations,” said Steven Wilson, head of engineering, KFTL.
The Kalmar Straddle Carriers are
part of a renewal strategy to improve performance and reliability in the terminal’s operation. KFTL’s fleet already includes Kalmar straddle carriers, reachstackers, empty container handlers and terminal tractors. They will be powered by a diesel-electric power unit with quiet easy maintenance. “I am pleased to welcome Kingston
Freeport Terminal back as a Kalmar customer. We are excited to continue our collaboration with CMA, who have now chosen our proven straddle carrier solution for four of their terminals during the past year,” said Troy Thompson, VP, sales, Americas, Kalmar. “We are continuously developing the
Kalmar Straddle Carrier to ensure that it continues to meet the high level of quality and reliability that our container terminal customers expect when they choose Kalmar.” ●
