Kalmar will fit 23 of APMT Zeebrugge's straddle carriers with its container position verification system.

Kalmar Smartpath is an automated system that verifies and reports on the location of all containers handled. Fitted to straddle carriers or reach stackers, the system saves time by minimising unladen travel distances and optimising laden travel distances, Kalmar says.

"Because the Smartpath system is completely integrated, it allows the driver to concentrate on his job by providing him with tools like a terminal map and automatically exchanging container pick and place information and instructions with the yard management system."

The Smartpath-enabled straddle carriers will be delivered over the next few months. Kalmar did not disclose the value of the contract.

Zeebrugge is the modern port for the Bruges subdivision in Belgium.
