Kalmar has secured an order for 14 hybrid AutoStrad straddle carriers for Patrick Terminals, which will be installed at the Sydney AutoStrad terminal. Their delivery is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026.
Patrick Terminals is Australia’s leading container terminal operator, with a volume of over 3.5 million TEU per year. It operates some of Australia’s most technologically advanced terminals in four strategically located coastal ports, namely Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Fremantle.
The 14 new hybrid AutoStrads will join the 10 units ordered by Patrick Terminals in October 2020.
“The Kalmar AutoStrad plays a fundamental role in the operations of our Brisbane and Sydney terminals. The performance, efficiency and reliability of the current fleet have shown us that this technology is ideal for our business. Our investment in hybrid straddles further demonstrates our ongoing commitment to reducing our carbon footprint and advancing our decarbonization strategy. We look forward to commissioning the new units within the next 18 months,” said Michael Jovicic, Chief Executive Officer of Patrick Terminals.
