Kalmar has won orders to supply DP World's Jebel Ali Port in Dubai with 125 terminal tractors and 12 empty container handlers.

The terminal tractors are scheduled to be delivered by the end of the third quarter of 2014 and the empty container handlers by the end of the year. The value of the orders is confidential.

These orders demonstrate Kalmar's growing partnership with DP World at its flagship container port in Dubai, which has experienced another record year with container volumes increasing to 13.6 million TEUs in 2013.

The continued expansion of the port, principally through the new Container Terminal 3 facility, the world's largest semi-automated terminal, will take the total capacity at the port to 19 million TEUs in 2014.

Of the 125 Kalmar Ottawa terminal tractors, 104 units feature a fixed fifth wheel with pulling capacity of 85 T and 18 units have an elevated fifth wheel for gooseneck operation. The Kalmar DCF 80-45E8 empty container handlers can handle 8 T and stack eight containers high. All machines are equipped with remote monitoring signals, enabling them to operate at the semi-automated terminal.
