Gulftainer, the UAE-based global logistics and supply chain solutions provider, has expanded its operational capabilities at the Iraq Container Terminal in the Port of Umm Qasr with the addition of three advanced Kalmar reach stackers.
This strategic upgrade reinforces the company’s ongoing efforts to enhance terminal performance and support the growing demands of Iraq’s trade sector.
The newly acquired equipment is part of Gulftainer’s broader strategy to increase efficiency, reduce container turnaround times, and optimize terminal space through high-stacking capabilities.
With these reach stackers in operation, ICT is positioned to deliver more reliable, timely, and high-capacity service for regional and international cargo flows.
Equipped with rotating cabins for 360-degree visibility, the Kalmar reach stackers offer exceptional precision in container handling. Their adjustable spreaders can accommodate multiple container sizes, including standard 20-foot and 40-foot units.
Nic Gray, Managing Director for Iraq Operations at Gulftainer, commented that these state-of-the-art reach stackers will strengthen the terminal’s ability to deliver fast, reliable service to the customers.
The deployment of the new Kalmar reach stackers comes at a crucial time for the region, where the demand for scalable, efficient port solutions continues to rise.
