12 Terex diesel electric straddle carriers for Tunisia

The new fleet of 1-over-2 (3 high) models, equipped with Noell NES40 single lift spreader, is forecast to be operational between the Q4-2010 and the Q1-2011.

The Port of Radès is experiencing rapid growth due to rising demand from shipping lines operating in the Mediterranean. Handling around a quarter of the country’s overall traffic, Tunisia’s main port for container and roll-on/roll-off traffic handles 87% of the volume of containerised goods and 80% of its rolling cargo.

In 2008, the port handled a total of 5.9m tonnes, 2.1m tonnes of which were containerised.
