Antwerp training centre adds straddle carrier

The training centre for port workers in the Port of Antwerp, known as the OCHA, is adding a second Kalmar electric straddle carrier to its fleet to meet rising demand for trained drivers.

The existing straddle carrier will be refurbished as part of the order, and both machines will be covered by a Kalmar Care maintenance contract.

Last year OCHA trained 3,070 people and conducted 659 training programs for port workers.
