Kalmar’s proven RTG technology selected by DP World for Nhava Sheva International Container
Terminal in India Kalmar, part of Cargotec, is to supply DP World with a total of 15 Kalmar rubber-tyred
gantry cranes (RTGs) for the Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal (NSICT) in Mumbai, India.
The order, which also includes 24 months of on-site maintenance support, was booked in Cargotec’s
2019 Q2 order intake with delivery scheduled to be completed during Q4 2020.

Kalmar and DP World, one of the world’s leading operators of marine and inland terminals, have
developed a highly successful partnership over many years of working together. The two companies
share a vision of a more eco-efficient and sustainable future for the cargo-handling industry, and
Kalmar’s equipment enables successful daily operations at several DP World terminals around the world.

NSICT was India’s first public-private partnership project and is part of the country’s largest port,
Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT), which handles 40% of India’s total maritime trade.

The Kalmar Classic RTG combines the best of diesel and electric technology for fuel savings, low
emissions and easy maintenance. At 1,000 hours, it has one of the longest maintenance intervals in the
industry, while its modular design makes it easy to tailor to customer requirements. The units delivered
to Nhava Sheva will be equipped with a Variable Speed Generator (VSG) which enables even greater fuel
economy and lower emissions by automatically optimising RPM according to the required power.

Eduardo Prat, Vice President, Sales, Kalmar Automation Solutions: “We are delighted to announce this
order from DP World, a partner with whom we have a long-standing and highly successful relationship.
Furthermore, this order is a reflection of the skill and dedication of our local service team in India, whose unparalleled knowledge of RTG technology will ensure that we can continue to provide NSICT with world-
class service and support.”
