The agreement includes four Kalmar Zero Emission rubber-tyred gantry cranes (RTGs), one reachstacker, one empty container handler and two forklift trucks of the Kalmar Essential Range. The order was booked in Cargotec’s 2019 Q4 order intake, with the delivery of all machines scheduled to be completed during Q3 of 2020.

“Having a single supplier for our yard and mobile equipment simplifies our operations and offers advantages in terms of ongoing maintenance too. The new Kalmar equipment will support safe, efficient operations at our terminal and will ensure we are ready for future automation.”

Mikko Mononen, Vice President, Sales, EMEIA, Kalmar: “We are extremely pleased to welcome ARISE Mauritania as a Kalmar customer and are looking forward to helping them achieve their ambitious goals for the Nouakchott terminal. This order is a direct result of the excellent reputation we have built as a supplier of safe, reliable equipment.”
