Kalmar demonstrates RTG automation

The US and Japan are moving much closer together as the US looks to move quickly to remove China as a supplier of infrastructure and other systems it deems as critical infrastructure and/or a cyber security risk.

“Alternative drives and automation were key topics in the maritime cranes product segment” Liebherr said in its review of 2023.

The new hybrid straddle carriers are part of a fleet renewal programme aimed at improving the Med Europe Terminal’s environmental performance.

The operating profit percentages for the different business areas varied throughout the year, with Kalmar at 12.9%, Hiab at 14.1%, and MacGregor at 4.3%.

Japanese OEM records a 48.8% increase in orders received by its Logistics Systems business as large RTG orders roll in.

The new cranes were manufactured by ZPMC at its Nantong facility in China. They will join eight other ARTGs ZPMC previously delivered to YICT.
