Cargotec supply two Kalmar E One2 rubber tyred gantry cranes to DCT Gdansk
DCT Gdansk has signed a contract with Cargotec to supply them with two Kalmar E-One2 rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) cranes.
The 7+1 wide and 1-over-5 high RTGs with a maximum lifting capacity of 40 tonnes will come equipped with Kalmar Smartrail®, an autosteering and container position verification system. They will also be fitted with additional performance-enhancing technology such as an electrical anti-sway system. The machines will be delivered during the first quarter 2010. The weekly service will see 8000 TEU vessels calling at DCT Gdansk, which will become Poland's largest container terminal as a result. The facility has been added to a major shipping line service which started earlier this month.
 
Intermodal transportation: The next wave?
 Holidays are almost over, for those lucky enough to go on vacation. I spent my time away from the sea, and well above sea level. Just for reassurance. As you might know, the majority of Dutch grounds are below sea level (about 65%), and we keep dry feet by pumping water. Without that, we would build our sandcastle around "Amersfoort at the Sea" (a city some 80km inland).
However, spending time in the Alps, some 800m above sea level, my rectangular box driven mind did not come to a complete standstill, wondering about hinterland transportation.
