Kalmar’s equipment fleet reaches 240 at the Port of Vuosaari

This new equipment is being joined by other Kalmar machines that are being moved to Vuosaari from two smaller existing Helsinki terminals and Port of Kotka, bringing the total fleet of Kalmar machines at Vuosaari to 240. The operating activities of the smaller Helsinki terminals will be transferred to Vuosaari by the end of 2008.

Kalmar has also been awarded maintenance contracts for the equipment in Vuosaari by Finnish operators Finnsteve and Steveco, both long term partners of Kalmar. The service contract for Finnsteve includes full maintenance, repairs and spare parts for the four Kalmar STS cranes. This is Kalmar’s largest STS maintenance contract to date and also includes the provision of a team of four on-site Kalmar technicians.

Steveco has commissioned Kalmar to provide maintenance for straddle carriers, terminal tractors and reachstackers at Vuosaari.
