Cargotec lands port orders in Vietnam, Mexico and Philippines

Finland’s Cargotec announced it has received orders for container terminal equipment at port facilities in Vietnam, Mexico and the Philippines.

In Vietnam, Cargotec said in a statement that it would provide two additional Kalmar E-One² rubber-tired gantry, zero-emission cranes to Tan Cang Technical Services Joint Stoke Company, a subsidiary of terminal operator Saigon Newport.

The other two orders are for International Container Services Inc. for 4 ship-to-shore cranes and 10 rubber tired gantry cranes delivered to ICTSI’s wholly-owned Contecon Manzanillo facility under construction on Mexico’s Pacific Coast by first half of 2013, and another eight RTGs due this year at the terminal operator’s Philippines-based container hub, where the company is based.

ICTI’s Contecon Manzanillo terminal is expected to be at 450,000-TEU capacity within two years, while the MICT container-handling facility in Manila is projected to grow from the current 1.9 million TEUs to 2.5 million TEUs per year, Cargotec said.
