Kempower signs three year charging framework with APM Terminals for global port network
By Eve
Kempower has signed a three year global framework agreement to supply DC fast charging infrastructure to APM Terminals for its container terminal network. The agreement covers high power charging systems for selected terminals as APM Terminals transitions diesel powered container handling equipment to battery electric alternatives, with first pilot projects underway at terminals in Mexico, Morocco and Peru. The framework does not include binding order volumes, with APM Terminals placing orders according to investment plans and Kempower disclosing significant confirmed orders under its disclosure policy.
Why it matters: The framework establishes Kempower as a preferred supplier for a major global port operator's electrification programme, opening a pipeline of potential orders across APM Terminals' network as it targets net zero by 2040. The non binding structure means actual order volumes remain uncertain, but the three year term and pilot deployments signal sustained procurement activity in the maritime logistics sector.
