DP World's Jebel Ali Port in Dubai has ordered 125 terminal tractors and 12 empty container handlers from Kalmar, part of Cargotec.
Delivery of the tractors were to completed by the end of the third quarter 2014 and the empty container handlers by the year end.
The continued expansion of the port, principally through the new Container Terminal 3 facility, the world's largest semi-automated terminal, will take the total capacity at the port to 19 million TEUs in 2014.
Of the 125 Kalmar Ottawa terminal tractors, 104 units feature a fixed fifth wheel with pulling capacity of 85,000 kg and 18 units have an elevated fifth wheel for goose-neck operation.
The Kalmar DCF 80-45E8 empty container handlers have the capacity to handle eight tonnes and stack eight containers high. All machines are equipped with remote monitoring signals, enabling them to operate on the semi-automated terminal.
