Cargotec Corporation's Board of Directors Decides on Incentive Program for Key
Managers

Cargotec Corporation's Board of Directors has decided on a new share-based
incentive program for Cargotec's key managers for the period 2007-2011. The
purpose of the program encouraging share ownership is to align the interests of
key managers to Cargotec's strategy and financial targets as well as contribute
to making them long-term shareholders of the Company. The program offers key
managers a possibility to earn a reward in Cargotec class B shares based on
accomplishment of set targets.

The incentive program consists of four earnings periods, of which the first is
two years and the following three periods one year each. The Board of Directors
decides on the target group of the earnings period and their maximum reward at
the beginning of each earnings period.

Potential rewards from the incentive program during 2007-2011 are based on
achievement of five-year net sales and operating income targets as defined in
Cargotec's strategy. The rewards will be paid during 2009-2012 in both class B
shares and cash, with the cash dedicated to cover possible taxes and tax-related
payments resulting from the share rewards. The shares distributed as reward will
contain a prohibition to hand over or sell the shares within one year of the end
of an earnings period with the exception of the final earnings period when no
prohibitions are included. The maximum amount to be paid out as shares is 387,500
class B shares currently held by the company as treasury shares.

The incentive program covers some 60 individuals.
