APM Τerminals in Tangier, Morocco has placed another order in Kalmar for additional shuttle carriers. The first phase of the project, which took place between 2016 and 2020, involved 42 shuttle carriers.
APM Terminals has selected Kalmar again for additional 23 units – manually-driven, semi-automated hybrid shuttle carriers.
“We are pleased with our partnership with Kalmar in developing this significant infrastructure and operational change at TM2,” said Jack Craig, vice president of global head of operations at APM Terminals.
“Together, we have introduced a fleet of semi-automated equipment that will ensure high productivity in a sustainable manner as part of our terminal modernisation initiatives. Kalmar’s hybrid AutoStrad solution will help us reduce CO2 emissions,” he added.
The last batch of the order supports the expansion of the newest TM2 installation of APM Terminals in Tangiers, Morocco.
“We are proud of our continued collaboration with the APM Terminals in Tangier. The solution combines our industry-leading hybrid technology helping to reduce CO2 emissions,” said Antti Kaunonen, president, Kalmar Automation Solutions.
Meanwhile, APM Terminals has also completed an order for 62 Kalmar Hybrid AutoStrads for its Los Angeles facility.
