Off to Algeria

Delivery is scheduled to take place over the next six months to five key ports in Algeria: Annaba, Skikda, Algiers, Mostagannem and Ghazaouet. The value of the order is approximately €10m.

Saidi Mabrouk, general manager at GICEP, says: "We knew of Kalmar’s brand reputation and expected the DRF 450 reachstacker to offer impressive productivity. We were particularly impressed with the strength of its locally-based service team. When you’re responsible for running five busy ports, maintaining operational efficiency and productivity is critical. We had previous experience of operating Kalmar reachstackers at our Algiers port and found them to be very reliable and productive”, he added.
