KONECRANES RECEIVES REPEAT ORDER FOR CONTAINER HANDLING EQUIPMENT FROM DP WORLD DJAZAIR IN ALGERIA

Konecranes receives repeat order for container handling equipment from DP World
Djazair in Algeria 

In October 2009 Konecranes received an order for eleven Konecranes reach
stackers (RST) from DP World Djazair in Algeria. The RSTs will be delivered
during this autumn. Konecranes delivered six reach stackers and five empty
container handlers to the same customer in May and June 2009. Both parties have
agreed not to disclose the value of the recent order. 

Djazair Port World is a joint venture between DP World and the state of
Algeria. The present capacity is 500 000 TEU per year with plans to increase
this to 800 000 TEU. The ordered RSTs will operate in the container terminal
and is a replacement for older rented units. 

“DP World is pleased to continue our business relationship with Konecranes,”
says Mr. Joost Kruijning, Senior Vice President & Managing Director, DP World
Africa. “The 11 reach stackers will help us meet our efficiency and
productivity goals at DP World Djazair, in service to both our customers and
the Algerian people.” 

“In addition to the delivery in May-June this year, we have earlier supplied
reach stackers to their operations in Dakar, Senegal and Maputo in Mozambique,”
says Niklas Brönn, Sales Director, Konecranes Middle East. “The recent order is
a result of a long-time, strong relationship between DP World and Konecranes,
including mutual respect and trust.” 

Konecranes' laden container reach stacker is one of the most high performance
reach stackers in the market. It features many innovative solutions, including
the “box type” chassis, load-sensing hydraulics (power-on-demand), electronic
overload, safety and monitoring system. It has a lifting capacity of 45 tons
and can stack five containers high and three deep.
