Friday, August 9, 2013 Four Super Post-Panamax cranes on the way to PortMiamiPortMiami has purchased four new Super Post-Panamax cranes that are currently on the way, according to a port statement. Manufactured by Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries Co. in China, the cranes are expected to arrive in September. With the new arrivals, PortMiami will have six Super Post-Panamax cranes and will be the only port south of Norfolk, Virginia able to accommodate post-Panamax vessels, the statement said. The new gantry cranes, with a reach of 223 feet, can service cargo vessels up to twenty-two containers wide with up to nine containers high above deck and eleven containers below deck. The electric cranes are equipped with systems that can record all crane activity. "The arrival of four additional Super Post-Panamax cranes is an important milestone for our Port," said PortMiami Director Bill Johnson. "The new cranes complement our existing 9 cranes, adding capacity and helping PortMiami to become one of the most efficient and modern ports on the East Coast."
