Designed by Konecranes of Finland, these cranes can work the largest ships calling on the U.S. East Coast, reaching across vessels 22 containers wide.
Four new Super Post Panamax ship-to-shore cranes arrived at Garden City Terminal, bringing the Port of Savannah's total to 26, what is said to be more than any other U.S. terminal.
"For customers, it means the capacity to move up to a thousand containers per hour across a single dock at America's largest terminal, allowing us to work more vessels, more quickly," says Griff Lynch, executive director of Georgia Ports Authority (GPA), Savannah, Ga. "It means getting cargo to market and getting ships back out to sea with unmatched efficiency."
