Two new ship-to-shore cranes worth £11.5 million arrived at the Port of Immingham as part of a £33 million upgrade and improvement programme at Immingham Container Terminal. The cranes were supplied by Kalmar JV with Rainbow Cargotec Industries.
Cargotec sold its 49% ownership in Rainbow-Cargotec Industries (RCI) to joint venture partner Jiangsu Rainbow Heavy Industries, while acquiring certain operations and assets from RHI. The partner renamed to Rainbow Industries Co. Ltd. (RIC), and Kalmar gained over 160 new colleagues in China and Finland.
Cargotec has established Rainbow-Cargotec Industries Co Ltd, a joint venture with Jiangsu Rainbow Heavy Industries, with Cargotec owning 49% and investing EUR 30 million. A new facility will be built in Taicang, China.
Kalmar and Rainbow-Cargotec Industries (RCI) celebrated the opening of a new jetty in Taicang, China, to support deliveries of fully erect Kalmar yard cranes. The jetty can berth vessels up to 50,000 DWT.
