卡尔玛新闻摘要，2017年4月21日
卡尔玛与长期合作伙伴OCHA共同开设培训中心，培训港口工作人员。为了对安特卫普港与海外日益增多的驾驶员普及培训，OCHA新增一台卡尔玛跨运车加入设备车队。按照合同内容，卡尔玛将对其现有跨运车进行翻新，并且Kalmar Care服务合同将同时包含这两台设备的维保。
OCHA经理Ann Baats表示：“多年来，我们的业务稳固增长，从相对较小的培训中心到大型综合培训基地，注重起重机和跨运车运营业务。卡尔玛综合维护服务合同将助力我们提供多样化的培训，保障安特卫普港和海外港拥有一批安全、优质和富有成效的员工队伍。”
Kalmar, part of Cargotec, continues its long-standing cooperation with the training centre for port workers, OCHA. OCHA is adding a second Kalmar electric straddle carrier to its fleet in order to meet increasing demand for trained drivers at the Port of Antwerp and abroad. The existing straddle carrier will be refurbished as part of the order, and both machines will be covered by a Kalmar Care maintenance contract.
With four straddle carrier operators at the port and increasing container volumes, there is constant demand for trained drivers. OCHA has been training straddle carrier drivers using Kalmar equipment since 2003, and the new machine will help the organisation expand its training capacity significantly.
Last year OCHA trained 3,070 people and conducted 659 training programs for port workers. The straddle carrier training programme comprises one week on simulators followed by two weeks on real machines. After this, the drivers are ready to commence real port operations.
Ann Baats, Manager at OCHA, says: "Our operations have grown steadily over the years, from a relatively small training centre to a larger-scale comprehensive training facility with special focus on crane and straddle carrier operations. Kalmar equipment supported by a comprehensive maintenance contract will continue to play a key role in facilitating our multifaceted training offering, ensuring a safe, high quality and productive workforce in the Port of Antwerp and abroad."
Damien Cols, Director, Strategic Accounts at Kalmar, says: "We are pleased to continue our long-standing relationship with OCHA by providing reliable equipment that offers the best possible hands-on training experience. We understand how valuable this training is in supporting safe and efficient cargo handling."
