The Helsinki-headquartered manufacturer will supply APM Terminals MedPort Tangier with 20 hybrid straddle carriers, which will join the 65 Kalmar machines already on the ground.

The company will also integrate the new carriers, due for delivery in Q2-Q3 2025, with the customer's terminal operating system via Kalmar One software, complemented by services, maintenance and support.

"We are delighted that APM Terminals have chosen to continue our long-term collaboration by extending their fleet with our hybrid straddle carrier technology. As with previous orders, the machines will be configured, tested and pre-integrated so that they can be adopted smoothly and safely," said Arto Keskinen, President, Horizontal Transportation, Kalmar.

Managing Director of APM Terminals' West Med Hub Terminals, Keld Pedersen, also commented, "Since we began collaborating with Kalmar in 2017 with the first order for straddle carriers for Tanger Med 2, our partnership has continued to strengthen. Our Kalmar fleet has played a key role in the advancement of the terminal and proving our operational concept, while helping us to reduce CO2 emissions."
