PSA Halifax, which operates the south-end container terminal, has received delivery of a new Super-Post Panamax (SPPX) ship-to-shore container gantry crane. The new crane will be able to span across 24 containers on a vessel. Halifax is currently the only container terminal in Eastern Canada that can handle the ultra-class vessels. The Halifax Port Authority has also been working on extending the south end terminal, so it has the capacity to accommodate two ultra-class ships at a time with its five SPPX cranes at PSA Halifax.
