During its regular monthly meeting, the Port Commission of the Port of Houston Authority awarded a contract to Konecranes Finland Corporation for the purchase of 16 hybrid rubber-tired gantry (RTG) cranes for Bayport Container Terminal.
These new RTG cranes will be Port Houston’s first “one-over-six” container stacking units, setting a new standard moving forward while continuing to expand the port’s hybrid fleet to 46 in total.
This move marks Port Houston’s second-largest purchase of cranes and is expected to help further optimize the use of terminal space.
