HHLA’s Burchardkai terminal orders Kalmar straddle carriers

Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has signed an order with Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA), for 11 diesel-electric straddle carriers.

The order, which was booked in Cargotec’s 2017 first quarter order intake, follows a 2016 order for nine machines.

Jens Hansen, managing director of Container Terminal Burchardkai (CTB), said: “We’re facing increasing pressure to reduce operating costs and cut noise and emissions, so it’s vital that our straddle carrier equipment helps us achieve these targets.”
