BSC belongs to major Russian port operator Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port (NCSP), who already operates with Kalmar forklift trucks, reachstackers and terminal tractors at the Port of Novorossiysk. The customer's previous experience with Kalmar equipment convinced them to turn to Cargotec yet again for dependable container handling solutions for the new Baltiysk container terminal.
"Kalmar cranes feature excellent reliability and less maintenance due to the absence of a hydraulic unit. The machines' easily accessible service points combined with unmatched maintenance intervals also helped us to choose this equipment from Cargotec," says Mr. Sultan Batov, General Director of BSC. "As a new customer of Kalmar RTGs, we are confident that Cargotec's expertise goes from strength-to-strength covering a whole range of port equipment."
BSC's 7+1 wide and 1-over-6 high RTGs will be capable of handling 40 tonne loads. The units will come equipped with all-electric Bromma spreaders and Cargotec's autosteering and container position verification system, Smartrail®. Cargotec's latest generation of E-One2 RTGs provide the industry's lowest lifetime costs, consume considerably less fuel compared to conventional diesel-hydraulic RTGs and minimise their environmental impact.
The TR618i terminal tractor has been designed as a workhorse with superior operational characteristics. As the latest Kalmar icon series terminal tractor, this model is valued for its efficiency, ease of maintenance and innovative design.
