Kalmar to supply ICTSI straddle carriers

Kalmar has inked a deal with International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) to supply a total of 12 Kalmar hybrid straddle carriers

The machines will be deployed at the South Luzon Container Terminal (SLCT), located within Bauan International Port in Batangas, the Philippines.

The significant order, which also includes MyKalmar INSIGHT coverage for all machines, was booked in Kalmar’s Q3 2026 order intake, with delivery of all machines scheduled to be completed during Q3 2027.

“The SLCT project represents a significant investment for our organisation and demonstrates what can be achieved through long-term collaboration and commitment,” said Arthur de Jonge, senior director projects and systems at ICTSI.

“As a long-term partner, Kalmar can offer the proven technology and unparalleled service and fleet management expertise that a project of this nature demands.”

SLCT is located approximately 110 kilometres south of Manila and will support industrial and manufacturing activities. Once completed, the terminal will have an 800-metre quay, 38 hectares of yard and an annual capacity of 1.6 million teu.

As part of the agreement, Kalmar will also supply a straddle carrier simulator, which will be located at the terminal and used to train new operators and refresh the skills of existing ones.

Daniel Ho, vice president, GTO Key Account Management at Kalmar, said: “Kalmar and ICTSI have a long and distinguished history of close collaboration at a number of terminals around the world.

“We are proud to be able to deliver the very first Kalmar straddle carriers to a terminal in the Philippines and grateful for the trust the ICTSI have placed in our proven hybrid technology.”
