Kalmar to relocate and modify two STS cranes for Eurogate’s Wilhelmshaven terminal
Kalmar has concluded an agreement with Eurogate Container Terminal Wilhelmshaven (CTW) to relocate and modify two ZPMC Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes. The project is delivered as part of Kalmar’s Modernisation Services offering. This important service project is designed to extend the operational capability of the customer’s fleet. The large order was booked in Kalmar’s Q4 2025 order intake.
The complex project involves the preparation and execution of crane transport using a Heavy Lift Semi-Submersible Barge, alongside extensive mechanical and electrical modifications. Kalmar will oversee the entire process, including commissioning and testing, to ensure full functionality upon delivery to the Wilhelmshaven terminal. The project is scheduled for completion by the end of Q2 2026.
This order highlights Kalmar’s strategic focus on Growing Services and acting as a true partner for excellence, regardless of the equipment’s original manufacturer. By providing in-house engineering expertise for all crane upgrade-related activities, Kalmar supports customers in managing the lifecycle of their assets safely and efficiently.
