GPA: Four more big cranes on way | savannahnow.com

Four new ship-to-shore cranes are slated to arrive at Garden City Terminal next month, Georgia Ports executive director Curtis Foltz said Monday.

“The cranes have already departed China and should be here late in the first week or early in the second week of June,” Foltz said after the GPA monthly board meeting.

“These are the newest generation cranes, taller and with a wider reach, something our customers have said they want,” he added.

The new state-of-the-art cranes were designed in Finland and built in China by Konecranes VLC. The largest of their kind, the new super post-Panamax STS cranes have a lifting capacity of 66 tons and an outreach of 200 feet.
