Port Tampa Bay Board Approves New High-Profile Container Crane Purchase
Port Tampa Bay commissioners approved the purchase of two new post-Panamax gantry cranes, like those seen above, right. Combined with the port’s share of financing, the purchase will also be made possible through $12 million in state funding, approved in the governor’s 2015 budget and a grant program of the Florida Department of Transportation. New high-profile cranes will enable increased container capacity at the Port Tampa Bay Container Terminal.

Port Tampa Bay commissioners, during the October 21 regular monthly board meeting, helped usher in a new era for the port’s burgeoning container business. In a unanimous vote, the board approved a $24 million project with Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (ZPMC) for the acquisition of two new post-Panamax container gantry cranes.
ZPMC will fabricate and deliver both 65-ton gantry cranes, with a 174-foot out-reach, that will service up to 19 rows of containers—significantly longer reach than the current gantries, which service container vessels up to 4,000 TEU capacity and are 40+ years old. The addition of this modern equipment will enable the port to significantly augment the work of the older generation of cranes. Read more..
