Kalmar Automatic Stacking Cranes arrived to DP World in Brisbane fully erected

Kalmar, part of Cargotec, is pleased to announce the phase 2 of the DP World Brisbane Automatic Stacking Cranes (ASC) project has kicked off with a successful target delivery, the company said in its press release.

The shipment carrying two new 9-wide ASCs arrived at DPW in project schedule and in perfect condition. The two ASCs were transported fully-erected from China to Australia and unloaded in Brisbane in July. This delivery completes Module 1 which is an addition to existing seven ASC modules.

The delivery of the two Kalmar ASCs marks the fourth successful fully erected ASC shipment from China to Australia. To date, Kalmar has provided DP World in Brisbane 16 Kalmar ASCs and 16 Kalmar shuttle carriers integrated with Navis N4 terminal operating system (TOS). The two new ASCs bring the number of modules servicing container trade to eight and increasing capacity by 14 percent to 720,000 TEU.
 
Kalmar offers the widest range of cargo handling solutions and services to ports, terminals, distribution centres and to heavy industry. Kalmar is the industry forerunner in terminal automation and in energy efficient container handling, with one in four container movements around the globe being handled by a Kalmar solution.
