Gloria on her way to Jebel Ali
Kalmar has gained an order from DP World to supply two of its latest generation “Gloria” reachstackers to the Jebel Ali new container terminal 3 (T3) in Dubai. The order was placed in January 2014 and delivery is scheduled for June 2014.
When the terminal opens for business this year it will be the world’s largest semi-automated facility, with 1,860 m of quayside and a 70-hectare yard. Providing additional annual capacity of 4m teu, it takes the total capacity of Jebel Ali Port to 19m teu. The new terminal will be part of the port’s integrated multi-modal hub, offering sea, air and land connectivity.
Gloria is designed to handle loaded containers and has the capacity to stack 45-tonne (9’6″) containers five-high in the first row.
