Savannah to receive 4 more ship-to-shore cranes from Konecranes
KONECRANES has received an order for four more ship-to-shore (STS) cranes from the Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) for Savannah harbour to be delivered in early 2018.
The STS cranes have a lifting capacity of 59 tonnes, an outreach of 61 metres, and a lifting height of 46 metres above the dock.
The port of Savannah currently operates 116 Konecranes rubber-tyre gantry cranes with an additional 30 RTGs to be delivered.
The port already operates 22 Konecranes STS cranes with four in the delivery pipeline for 2016, as well as four more in 2018 for a total of 30, reported Port Technology.
In 2015, container throughput at the port of Savannah rose by 11.7 per cent compared to the previous year to a record 3.73 million TEU.
Said GPA executive director Curtis Foltz: "The expansion was fuelled in part by heightened demand in the US southeast, Savannah's logistical advantages drawing new customers to Georgia, and cargo diverted from the west coast."
