Kalmar and APM Terminals agree for straddle carrier fleet modernisation at MedPort Tangier

Finnish port equipment manufacturer Kalmar has signed an agreement with Maersk’s port operating arm APM Terminals to modernise 32 Kalmar straddle carriers operating at MedPort Tangier in Morocco.

The large order was booked in Kalmar’s Q1 2025 order intake, with the modernisation programme scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2025 and be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2026.

Opened in 2019, APM Terminals MedPort Tangier is a transshipment terminal located at the Tanger Med 2 port complex. The terminal serves the major shipping routes between Europe, Africa, the Americas and the Far East and complements the APM Terminals Tangier facility at the Tanger Med 1 port complex.

The modernisation comprises a midlife refurbishment programme delivered under Kalmar Modernisation Services offering. Additionally, the programme is expected to extend the equipment’s operational lifespan while enhancing safety, optimizing performance, and improving productivity and reliability.
