Kalmar has signed an agreement to supply German marine terminal operator Seehafen Wismar with five Kalmar heavy terminal tractors. The order, which also includes a four-year Kalmar Complete Care service agreement, was booked in Kalmar’s 4Q24 order intake, with delivery of the machines scheduled for 2Q25.
As the southernmost Baltic Sea port in Germany, Wismar Seaport is ideally situated to support goods flows in the Baltic Sea, Germany and across Europe. The port offers excellent road, rail and sea connections and handles approximately eight million t of cargo annually. The current equipment fleet at Wismar Seaport includes Kalmar heavy terminal tractors and electric and diesel-powered forklift trucks. Among other tasks, the heavy terminal tractors are used to transport logs on trailers between the port and the adjacent sawmill.
Michael Kremp, Managing Director, Seehafen Wismar: “Kalmar has proven to be a reliable long-term partner, supporting us with high-quality equipment solutions backed by excellent local support on site. The new terminal tractors will be a welcome addition to our fleet as we seek to continuously improve the efficiency and quality of the services we offer to our customers.”
Matias Schalien, Director, Sales and Product Management, Terminal Tractors, Kalmar: “We are proud to continue our long-term collaboration with Seehafen Wismar by supporting them with their fleet renewal programme and equipment maintenance. The combination of reliable, durable equipment supported by agile on-site local maintenance allows Seehafen Wismar to focus on their core operations.”
