FINLAND's Cargotec unit Kalmar has orders from DP World Australia for two new Kalmar automatic stacking cranes (ASCs) for its Brisbane terminal to be delivered fully erected in 2016.
The cranes will join a fleet of 14 Kalmar ASCs at Fisherman Islands Terminal, bringing the number of modules servicing container trade to eight and increasing capacity by 14 per cent to 720,000 TEU.
Said DP World Australia CEO Paul Scurrah: "In the past six months we have seen higher productivity and we are confident that trend will continue."
Said DP World Brisbane general manager Glenn Wayne: "The new ASCs will result in a 14 per cent increase in yard stacking capacity, while providing an additional five truck lanes to reduce truck turn times."
Since DP World Australia launched its semi-automated terminal in May 2014, key performance metrics have improved. Most trucks are processed in less than 30 minutes, and quay crane gross moves per hour are "now above mode pre-implementation levels", said Kalmar.
