卡尔玛起重机升级业务获得西班牙Noatum码头公司岸桥修复订单

卡尔玛新闻摘要，2018年6月20日

卡尔玛与西班牙Noatum港口公司签订合同，为其位于瓦伦西亚集装箱码头的一座岸桥起重机提供特别修复工作。此项订单已录入卡哥特科2018年第一季度订单，项目计划持续24周，将于2018年第三季度全部完成。

该码头拥有20座岸桥起重机，在集装箱船装卸过程中扮演着举足轻重的角色。2017年底的一起船只事故导致其中一座岸桥遭到损坏，修复工作工程浩大且难度极高。为了使起重机恢复正常运行，Noatum公司委托卡尔玛计划、设计及执行本次维修工程。卡尔玛与Noatum公司合作历史悠久，多年来卡尔玛全力支持Noatum公司的发展，为其提供设备的保养、升级、维修及转移服务。

岸桥起重机意外断裂或损坏会对码头运营产生巨大影响。卡尔玛起重机维修专家团队可以提供迅速可靠的支持，并与客户的技术人员密切合作，确定最合适的维修方案并使设备尽快恢复运行。

瓦伦西亚Noatum港码头运营经理Gustavo Ferrer表示：“卡尔玛一直以来支持我们的运营，并提供包括起重机升级在内的多种服务，因此他们是此次复杂的起重机维修工作的最佳选择。我们对卡尔玛行业专家所提供的服务质量非常满意，而且他们在此类项目方面的成功经验也让我们非常放心。”

 

Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has been contracted by Noatum Ports to perform specialised repair work on a ship-to-shore crane located at its container terminal in Valencia, Spain. The order was booked in Cargotec's 2018 first quarter order intake and the work, which is scheduled to last 24 weeks, will be completed early in the third quarter of 2018.

 

Noatum Container Terminal Valencia (Noatum CT Valencia) is the Iberian Peninsula's main gateway for container transportation and the natural port of the Spanish capital, Madrid. Served by all major global container-shipping lines, the terminal's location close to the Suez-Gibraltar axis connects it with the main interoceanic routes. Noatum CT Valencia is part of the Noatum Group, one of Spain's leading maritime terminal operators.

 

The terminal's 20 STS cranes perform a critical role in the loading and unloading of container vessels. Following an incident with a vessel in late 2017, one of the cranes suffered damage and now requires extensive and complex repairs. Noatum CT Valencia turned to Kalmar to plan, engineer and execute the repair work and return the crane to normal operation. The two companies have a long history of cooperation, with Kalmar having supported Noatum with maintenance, upgrade, repair and relocation services for a number of years. 

 

When an STS crane breaks down unexpectedly or is damaged, it can have a huge impact on terminal operations. Kalmar's team of crane repair experts can provide rapid and reliable support, working in close cooperation with the customer's technical personnel to identify the most appropriate repair solution to get the equipment up and running again as quickly as possible.

 

Gustavo Ferrer, Terminal Manager, at Noatum CT Valencia, said: "Kalmar already supports our operations with a variety of different services, including crane upgrades, so they were the natural choice to perform the complex repair work that the crane requires. We have been very satisfied with the quality of the service provided by Kalmar's industry specialists, and their track record with this type of project speaks for itself."

 

Eduardo Prat Fernandez, Vice President, Crane Upgrades at Kalmar commented: "Our relationship with Noatum Group has been extremely successful, and we are pleased to be able to support them with getting this critical piece of terminal equipment working again as quickly as possible. This order demonstrates once again the high regard in which customers hold the superb technical capabilities of our dedicated team of crane experts."
