Saigon Newport Company (SNP) has ordered 10 E-One RTG cranes from Kalmar Industries for phase one of Tan Cang-Cai Mep International Container Terminal.

The all-electric, 6+1 wide and 1-over-5 high units equipped with Kalmar's container position verification system will be delivered in November 2008.

Kalmar has supplied SNP with reach stackers and terminal tractors in the past. In April, SNP ordered 10 E-One RTGs for its Cat Lai container facility.

Phase one of Cai Mep will feature a 300 metre (984.3 feet)-long berth and a 20 ha (49.4 acre) container yard capable of handling 650,000 TEU a year. It will be completed by the end of 2008.

Phase two, to be completed in 2010, will see the berth extended to 600 metres (1,968.8 feet) and yard space expanded to 40 ha (98.9 acres), giving the terminal an annual handling capacity of 1.1 million TEU.

Cai Mep is expected to become a large transit port for southern Vietnam.
