Kalmar reachstackers to play key role in Boluda’s
expansion plans for Tenerife terminal
Kalmar has concluded an agreement to supply Spanish terminal
operator Boluda Corporación Marítima (Boluda) with four Kalmar
Gloria reachstackers and two Kalmar Eco reachstackers. The order
was booked in Kalmar’s Q4 2024 order intake. Delivery will take
place in phases, with two units delivered during Q4 2024 and the
remaining units during Q2 and Q3 2025.
Boluda can trace its roots back to 1837 when the shipping
company Naviera Fos was founded. Today, Boluda is one of the
leading global maritime services companies, with operations in
Europe, the coast of Africa, Cape Verde, the Indian Ocean and Latin
America. Boluda Marine Terminal in Muelle del Bufadero, Tenerife,
is a LoLo and RoRo terminal with a fleet of equipment including
Kalmar rubber-tyred gantry cranes (RTGs), reachstackers and
terminal tractors.
The Kalmar Eco reachstackers will be covered by a fuel-saving
guarantee for greater financial predictability. The guaranteed,
fixed level of fuel consumption is based on a set of mutually
agreed metrics. The spreaders on all six of the new reachstackers
will be supplied with 250 mm extended twist locks for handling
low-height containers.
José Gregorio Álvarez, Director, Boluda: “We
have built an extremely solid relationship with Kalmar over the
years and have been very satisfied with the quality and reliability
of the equipment. The Eco reachstackers will play an important role
in terms of developing our fleet to be more eco-friendly and
reducing our operating costs.”
Ignacio de Sebastián, Solutions Sales Manager,
Mobile Equipment, Kalmar Spain: “We are pleased that Boluda has
chosen Kalmar equipment to enhance the reliability and
eco-efficiency of their operations at the Tenerife terminal. Our
relationship goes back three decades, and is based on strong mutual
trust and open collaboration. We look forward to continuing to
support Boluda with world-class equipment and services that help
them achieve their strategic business objectives.”
