Kalmar receives repeat order from MOL's LA TraPac automated terminal
CARGOTEC's Kalmar has won a major order to supply 17 automated stacking cranes and 11 automated straddle carriers for terminal services provider TraPac Inc, a subsidiary of MOL in Los Angeles.
This contract follows an order for 10 Kalmar automated stacking cranes and 17 automated straddle carriers received in October 2011. The equipment in the new contract is scheduled for delivery in 2015 and early 2016 and both parties have agreed not to disclose the value of the order.
"TraPac is one of the major automation projects for Kalmar where we have been able to demonstrate our ability to deliver a total solution including both the hardware as well as the software for the entire automation," said Kalmar Americas vice president Lennart Brelin.
Said TraPac vice president Scott Axelson: "The integration of the terminal systems is vital to us and working with a single integrator such as Kalmar is critical to ensuring accurate, reliable and timely project realisation and operations."
The terminal is expected to be partly opened for commercial operations in the second quarter of 2014.
