The Port of Savannah has received four new Super Post-Panamax ship-to-shore (STS) container cranes as part of a $1.9 billion infrastructure improvement initiative. These additions will increase the port’s fleet to 34 machines at the Garden City Terminal, the largest single container terminal in North America. The new cranes, designed by Konecranes of Finland, are all-electric and will be able to reach heights of 295 and 306 feet. They can handle 22 to 24 containers wide and will enhance productivity at the terminal. The cranes and other improvements are expected to increase the terminal’s capacity by 1.5 million TEUs annually.
