卡尔玛新闻摘要，2017年10月16日

卡尔玛与BMT太平洋有限公司签订了一项合同，该合同涵盖四台配有卡尔玛SmartPower的轮胎式龙门吊起重机（RTG）。该批新设备将服务于BMT太平洋在湄南河独资的内河码头，同时也是泰国中部最重要的航道。此项订单已录入卡哥特科2017年第三季度订单，计划将于2018年第三季度交付。

BMT太平洋公司在泰国提供综合性码头和物流服务。卡尔玛在20世纪80年代首次进入泰国，在过去20年中，卡尔玛携手当地经销商SCP机械设备公司，一起为客户提供了优秀的本地服务和战略性支持。

BMT太平洋总经理Rangsant Tonchanachai表示：“本次采购是BMT太平洋与卡尔玛紧密合作的又一例证，进一步提升了我们在业界的竞争力。多年来，卡尔玛一直以卓越的服务支持着我们的发展，使我们能够专注于业务提升。”

Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has signed a contract with BMT Pacific Limited for an order of four Kalmar SmartPower Rubber-Tyred Gantry (RTG) Cranes. The new Kalmar machines will serve BMT Pacific's solely owned river terminal in Chao Phraya River, located at the most important waterway in Central Thailand. The order, booked in Cargotec's 2017 third quarter intake with delivery scheduled for third quarter of 2018, will boost the inland waterways capability of BMT Pacific.

BMT Pacific offers an integrated terminal and logistics services in Thailand. Kalmar first established its footprint in Thailand in the 1980's, and during the past two decades has provided outstanding local service and strategic support to the customers in partnership with the local Kalmar dealer SCP Mechanical. 

"The deal is another example of the seamless cooperation between BMT Pacific and Kalmar, which is further accelerating our competitiveness in the industry. Kalmar has supported our development with exceptional services throughout the years, and that gives us complete confidence to focus on our business growth," says Rangsant Tonchanachai, General Manager, BMT Pacific.

"This order confirms BMT Pacific's commitment to further enhance our long term and mutually beneficial cooperation. We're happy to continue supporting them in their path towards sustainable growth," says Teo Yew Boon, Vice President of Kalmar South and Southeast Asia.

The Kalmar SmartPower RTG crane offers an environmentally sustainable solution to customers through its fuel saving capability and fully electric design. The Kalmar SmartPower RTG uses up to 10 litres less fuel per hour than most of the diesel RTGs on the market, thanks to its significantly smaller diesel engine and intelligent power management system. The refined design requires fewer components and results in higher efficiency with less failure, less downtime, low dead weight and less maintenance.

The cranes will be 6+1 rows wide, 1-over-5 high, and equipped with 8 wheels. They will feature variable speed diesel engines as well as Bromma's light-weight YSX40E all-electric crane spreaders. The lifting capacity under the spreader will be 40 tons.
