卡尔玛维护及支持服务保障墨尔本维多利亚码头自动化方案的生产力和可用性
卡尔玛新闻摘要，2019年1月9日
卡尔玛与国际集装箱码头服务公司（ICTSI）签订维护和支持合同，支持维多利亚国际集装箱码头（VICT）自动化集装箱装卸方案的运营。此项订单已录入卡哥特科2018年第四季度订单，并于2018年11月生效。
VICT是澳大利亚首个全自动化集装箱码头，于2017年3月开港迎来首艘船舶。VICT位于澳大利亚墨尔本港口Webb码头东部，港口海湾一侧得天独厚的地理位置让进出口货物的周转速度更快，船舶停泊更便捷。
此项维护和支持合同涵盖OneTerminal自动化解决方案的所有系统和设备，包括Navis N4码头运营系统（TOS）、20座卡尔玛全自动轨道式起重机（ASC）和11台卡尔玛AutoShuttles(TM)自动穿梭机。卡尔玛码头物流系统（ TLS）通过开放式的卡尔玛Key系统接口与5台自动化新巴拿马型岸桥起重机相连，并基于Navis N4码头运营系统的订单执行自动化运营的路径和操作。
VICT的执行总裁Anders Dømmestrup表示：“VICT是全球最先进的集装箱码头之一。凭借与卡尔玛尖端技术、设备以及行业领先码头运营系统Navis的紧密合作，我们获得了重大发展，从优化运营到如今达到港口安全和效率的最高标准。此项综合的维护和支持合同将帮助我们进一步提高生产力、设备效率和OneTerminal自动化系统的可用率，确保我们可为客户提供一流的服务。”
Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has signed a maintenance and support agreement with International Container Terminal Services, Inc (ICTSI) covering the automated container handling solution operating at Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT). The order was booked in Cargotec's Q4 2018 order intake with the agreement coming into effect in November 2018.
Australia's first fully automated container terminal, VICT, welcomed its first vessel in March 2017. Located at Webb Dock East in the Port of Melbourne, the terminal's unique location on the bay side of the port means a faster turnaround time for imports and exports as well as easier berthing for ships.
The maintenance and support agreement covers all aspects of the OneTerminal automated solution, which comprises Navis N4 Terminal Operating System (TOS), 20 Kalmar automated stacking cranes (ASCs) and 11 Kalmar AutoShuttles(TM). The Kalmar Terminal Logistics System (TLS) conducts routing and execution for automated operations based on the orders from the Navis N4 TOS. TLS is connected through open Kalmar Key interface to five automatic neo-Panamax ship-to-shore (STS) cranes.
Anders Dømmestrup, Chief Executive Officer, VICT: "VICT is one of the most advanced container terminals in the world. With the strong collaboration of Kalmar's cutting-edge technology and equipment and Navis' industry-leading TOS, we have reached an important point in our development: going from implementation into optimisation to now achieve the highest standards in port safety and efficiency. This integrated maintenance and support agreement will allow us to maximise the productivity, equipment efficiency and availability of our OneTerminal automated systems, ensuring that we can provide our customers with world-class service."
Arto Keskinen, Vice President, Intelligent Service Solutions, Kalmar: "We are delighted to have the opportunity to further strengthen our relationship with VICT through this comprehensive maintenance and support agreement. This is a significant milestone for both parties and lays the groundwork for Kalmar to further support VICT with optimising and expanding their operations. This agreement is the result of the hard work and collaborative, customer-focused approach of the Kalmar Australia team."
