MSC director Sandra Sarno said: "The trustworthy performance of our existing Kalmar machines played a major role in our decision to place this new order. We know that we can always rely on Kalmar equipment to provide cost efficient operation and world class reliability."

Kalmar South Africa sales manager Leslie Bramraj Venketas added: "MSC has been an important partner of ours for a number of years, so we are delighted to strengthen our relationship by supporting them with their fleet renewal programme."

Headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, MSC has a network of over 480 offices in 155 countries and a fleet of 490 container vessels. It also runs a large number of warehouses and shipping terminals.
