“This order is a significant step in terms of strengthening our successful relationship with Noatum and helping them build a pathway towards more efficient terminal operation in the future.”

Noatum Container Terminal Bilbao currently operates nine Kalmar RTGs, which are used to handle import and export traffic at the site.

The terminal is also using Kalmar’s Smart Rail automated gantry steering solution to improve the overall safety and performance of its RTGs.

Noatum Container Terminal Bilbao terminal manager Elvira Gallego Uribe said: “These new cranes replacing our old RMGs are significantly faster, more reliable and future proofed for efficient railyard operation, improving and increasing the security of workers involved in the operations and the containers operated on behalf of our customers.”

Noatum Container Terminal Bilbao primarily enables the transportation of containers across the Iberian Peninsula and south-west of France.
