Kalmar to provide Jeddah Islamic Port with 81 new tractors

The cargo handling equipment company Kalmar has announced that will supply DP World with 81 Kalmar Ottawa T2 terminal tractors for its South Container Terminal (SCT) in Jeddah Islamic Port in Saudi Arabia.

The tractors’ order was booked in 2021 second quarter order intake of Kalmar’s parent company, Cargotec, and the delivery of the machines at the largest port in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is scheduled for the second quarter of 2022.

The UAE-based global operator DP World was awarded a 30-year Build-Operate-Transfer concession in 2019 by the Saudi Ports Authority in Mawani, for the management and development of the Jeddah South Container Terminal.

In addition to 81 Kalmar terminal tractors with safety features such as automatic fire extinguisher system, reverse warning system and drive speed limiter system, the current equipment fleet at SCT includes Kalmar reachstackers and empty container handlers.

“The new equipment procured from Kalmar and added to our equipment portfolio will further accelerate DP World Jeddah’s SCT development plans, which aim to further enhance its infrastructure capabilities and technology-driven services to continue providing our customers with seamless quality services,” stated CEO of DP World Jeddah and Country Head KSA, Mohammad Alshaikh.
