FINNISH crane maker Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has been awarded a contract to supply TCEEGE Konteyner Terminal Isletmeleri (TCEEGE) in Turkey two Kalmar diesel-electric rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) cranes,
reports London's Port Technology International statement.
TCEEGE is located 55 kilometres from the
city of Izmir on the west coast of Turkey. The terminal has an annual
capacity of 500,000 TEU and has recently been purchased by the Turkish
company Ege Gubre from the Spanish company Grup Maritim TCB.
The new Kalmar RTG combines diesel and electric technology for fuel
savings, low emissions and easy maintenance. At 1,000 hours, it has one
of the longest maintenance intervals in the industry. Its modular design
makes it easy to tailor to customer-specific requirements.
The two RTGs delivered to TCEEGE will each be equipped with a Variable
Speed Generator (VSG), which enables even greater fuel economy and lower
emissions by automatically optimising RPM according to the required
power.
