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.
