Kalmar has agreed to supply six of its ‘Zero Emission’ rubber-tyred gantry (RTGs) cranes to the South Florida Container Terminal in Miami. This will make South Florida the first terminal in the US to have 100% zero emission RTGs, as these will be the first ones to be installed by any Miami terminal. The RTGs are scheduled to be delivered in early 2020 and are part of a project focused on redeveloping the South Florida Container Terminal.
Mainly, South Florida Container Terminal established itself as a strategic point of entry and departure for vessels that operate in the region.
In the meantime, the terminal provides stevedoring and terminal services to some of the largest carriers globally.
Also, the cranes will have a busbar energy system and operator assist features. They will include auto-steering and container stack profiling, as well.
Finally, Mark J. Baker, Managing Director of South Florida Container Terminal addressed
We will not only offer better service to our customers, but we will do it eco-efficiently with all-electric RTGs. Kalmar has proven their ability to handle large terminal redevelopment projects on a global scale with successful RTG deliveries.
