Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has agreed to supply Hutchison Ports ECT Rotterdam with two fully electric and eight hybrid straddle carriers for its ECT Delta terminal. The significant order was booked in Cargotec’s 2024 Q1 order intake, with delivery expected to be completed during Q4 2024.
Hutchison Ports ECT Rotterdam (ECT) operates two container terminals on the North Sea coast of Rotterdam and can handle the latest generation of ultra-large container vessels without any restrictions. The ECT Delta uses its fleet of straddle carriers to load and unload trucks on the land side. The terminal already operates several Kalmar straddle carriers.
Karri Keskinen, Head of Global Sales, Horizontal Transportation, Kalmar: “We are delighted to continue our collaboration with ECT and support their transition to more sustainable operations with our eco-efficient straddle carrier technology. Our flexible battery technology offering allows customers to select the option that fits their operational needs instead of settling for a one-size-fits-all solution when electrifying their equipment fleets. This third order for our fully electric straddle carrier demonstrates the strong market confidence in our eco-efficient solution.”
The new straddle carriers are part of a fleet renewal programme that will support the goal of ECT to achieve emission-free operations at its ECT Delta and ECT Euromax terminals by 2035. ECT will be piloting two different battery technologies in the electric straddle carriers.
The order also includes Kalmar Insight coverage for all the machines – a performance management tool that turns data into actionable, impactful insights. For electrically powered machines, the Kalmar Insight Energy Module provides visibility over the battery charge status, energy utilisation and key performance indicators related to charging.
