The two aforementioned ship-to-shore container cranes were built in Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries Co. Ltd., which is the largest crane producer in the world. Each of these cranes has an outreach of 23 rows across, and the two are among the largest cranes in North America.
As the operator of this port, Global Container Terminals Co. (GCT) is expecting to receive these two cranes by the late 2016.
