TTI Algeciras Orders 21 Hybrid Straddle Carriers from Kalmar

TTI Algeciras, one of the two container terminals in the Port of Algeciras Bay, Spain, has deepened its long-term partnership with Kalmar by placing an order for 21 hybrid straddle carriers. This significant order, booked in Kalmar’s Q4 2026 order intake, is set to be delivered by the fourth quarter of 2027.

Operating as the first semi-automated terminal in Southern Europe, TTI Algeciras is currently undergoing a major expansion project. The terminal aims to increase its handling capacity to 2.1 million TEUs (Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units) by 2028. Currently, TTI Algeciras operates a fleet of 23 Kalmar Straddle Carriers, alongside 8 Ship-to-Shore (STS) and 32 Automated Stacking Cranes (ASC).

The decision to order the hybrid straddle carriers underscores TTI Algeciras's commitment to enhancing terminal efficiency and sustainability.

Sergio Peralta, Country Director of Spain for Kalmar, expressed pride in the ongoing collaboration.

Kalmar, headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, operates globally in over 120 countries and employs approximately 5,300 people. In 2025, the company's sales totalled approximately EUR 1.7 billion. Known for its wide range of industry-shaping heavy material handling equipment and services, Kalmar continues to support the growth and sustainability goals of its customers.

The Port of Algeciras Bay, strategically located at the Strait of Gibraltar, serves as a critical gateway for current and next-generation Ultra Large Container Vessels (ULCVs). TTI Algeciras's expansion and modernization efforts align with the broader goals of the port to maintain its position as a key player in global maritime trade.
