Kalmar will deliver a range of Kalmar SmartPort process automation solutions such as SmartStack, SmartLift, SmartScreen and SmartMap.

Kalmar Americas Automation Sales VP John Scott said: “Kalmar SmartPort solutions help terminal operators be more efficient, to see the big picture, think on their feet, reduce complexity and make smarter decisions that boost efficiency.
“During the evaluation process, Termont had the opportunity to visit Kalmar’s existing customers to learn about their experiences and to benchmark existing processes.”
In November last year, Kalmar won a contract to supply 38 Ottawa T2 terminal tractors for DP World-owned Caucedo marine terminal in the Dominican Republic.
