卡尔玛新闻摘要，2018年9月3日
卡尔玛赢得迪拜环球港务集团（DP World）和法国达飞轮船（CMA-CGM）Terminal Link 的合资公司法国勒阿弗尔港Generale de Manutention Portuaire（GMP）公司的合同，为其加高四座振华重工的岸桥（STS）。此订单已录入卡哥特科2018年第二季度订单，计划于2018年第三季度开始实施。
勒阿弗尔港位于法国的北海岸线上，是法国最大的集装箱码头，也是北欧仅有的不受潮汐影响并能处理最大型集装箱船舶的深水港。该码头由GMP公司运营并拥有世界一流的基础设施，为了能够处理CMA的新型巨型集装箱船舶，码头需要升级其处理能力和容量。
卡尔玛将负责整个项目的策划、工程设计和执行，其中包括为四座九米高的岸桥进行加高作业。升级过程中，起重机将通过在门梁下方安装延伸支柱进行加高，并通过卡尔玛专业的顶塔和液压千斤顶进行顶升。
GMP技术总监Guy Sansone表示：“卡尔玛起重机升级专业团队的成功记录和技术专长是我们此次合作的主要原因。通过加高来扩大岸桥起重机的处理能力将确保我们能够继续为巨型船舶的客户提供最好的服务。”
Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has been awarded a contract to heighten four ZPMC ship-to-shore (STS) cranes operated by Generale de Manutention Portuaire (GMP), a joint venture between DP World and Terminal Link (CMA-CGM), located in the port of Le Havre. The order was booked in Cargotec's 2018 second quarter order intake, and the project is scheduled to commence in the 3rd quarter of 2018.
The port of Le Havre, located on the north coast of France, is the country's largest container port and one of the only deepwater ports in Northern Europe where the largest container ships can be handled without tidal restrictions. The Terminal de France is a state-of-the-art facility operated by Generale de Manutention Portuaire (GMP). The terminal is expanding its capabilities and capacity in order to be able to handle the new mega container vessels operated by CMA.
Kalmar will be responsible for the planning, engineering and execution of the entire project, which involves heightening the four STS cranes by nine metres. The cranes will be heightened by inserting leg extensions underneath the portal beams. During the upgrade the cranes will be jacked up using Kalmar's specialised jacking towers and hydraulic jacks.
Guy Sansone, Technical Director, GMP: "The decision to partner with Kalmar was placed mainly because of their proven track record and the technical expertise of their dedicated crane upgrades team. Extending the capabilities of our STS cranes through heightening will ensure we can continue to provide our customers with the best possible level of service regardless of how large their vessels are."
Eduardo Prat, Vice President, Crane Upgrades at Kalmar: "We are delighted to be able to support DP World and CMA CGM in future-proofing their operations at Terminal de France ready for handling the next generation of mega-size vessels. Our track record and expertise in these kinds of crane heightening projects speaks for itself, and we are the only provider capable of completing the work in such a short timescale."
