Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has signed a contract to supply the Kingston Freeport Terminal Limited with four diesel-electric straddle carriers for use at their terminal in Kingston, Jamaica. The order was booked in Cargotec's 2021 Fourth Quarter order intake with delivery scheduled to be completed during Third Quarter 2022. KFTL is a strategic transhipment hub in the Caribbean, located at the exit of the Panama Canal and the crossroads of the North/South and East/West lines. The terminal was established in 2015, and it is part of Terminal Link, a joint venture between The CMA CGM Group, a world leader in shipping and logistics, and China Merchants Port. The four Kalmar Straddle Carriers are part of a progressive fleet renewal strategy geared to improve performance and reliability in the terminal's operation. KFTL's equipment fleet already includes Kalmar straddle carriers, reachstackers, empty container handlers and terminal tractors. The new Kalmar Straddle Carriers delivered to Kingston Freeport Terminal will be powered by a highly efficient diesel-electric power unit and feature excellent manoeuvrability, quiet operation and easy maintenance. The spacious, ergonomic cabin and intuitive user interface will help to improve productivity by ensuring that operators benefit from the best possible driving experience.
