Kalmar has signed an agreement with Hanseatic Global Terminals (HGT) to supply 14 Kalmar hybrid straddle carriers for the company’s Atlantique multimodal terminal at the Port of Le Havre on the north coast of France.

The Kalmar hybrid straddle carriers will be the first of their kind deployed at the terminal. According to Kalmar, they will help HGT reduce local emissions, fuel costs and noise levels significantly while offering operators a more comfortable working environment.

This latest purchase continues the four-decade relationship between Kalmar and CNMP LH.

“We are delighted that Hanseatic Global Terminals has chosen our proven, eco-efficient hybrid straddle carrier technology to support their vision for CNMP LH as they seek to expand the terminal’s portfolio and strengthen its competitive position in the French market,” says Damien Cols, director global customers, Kalmar.

Dheeraj Bhatia, CEO HGT, says the incorporation of state-of-the-art equipment and vessels like the straddle carriers will continue as HGT strengthens its position in its core European markets.

“Building on our recently acquired majority stake in CNMP and our commitment to invest in the terminal, this order plays a significant role in further optimising operations at the CNMP LH terminal, while simultaneously preparing it for significantly more volume and throughput,” says Bhatia.
