The zero-emission RTGs, which will be equipped with a busbar energy system and operator assist features such as auto steering and container stack profiling, are expected to be delivered early next year.

South Florida Container Terminal managing director Mark Baker said: “We are excited about the opportunity to increase our capacity through this terminal redevelopment project. We will not only offer better service to our customers, but we will do it eco-efficiently with all-electric RTGs.
“Kalmar has proven their ability to handle large terminal redevelopment projects on a global scale with successful RTG deliveries.”
The 100% zero-emission RTGs will be installed in the full-service South Florida Container Terminal located at the Port of Miami.
It is located close to the Caribbean and the Americas, and serves as a strategic point of entry and departure for cargo moving to the greater part of the world.
