Port of Oakland will receive a new towering ship-to-shore crane (STS) in the current week, which will be delivered to the Everport marine terminal at Oakland run by Everport Terminal Services, Inc. (ETS).
This investment in new equipment is expected to enhance the infrastructure and cargo operations at ETS’ terminal in Oakland.
The new crane, which has been ordered to Shanghai-based ZPMC, has a lift height from the dock of approximately 53 metres. “Infrastructure, like this new crane at Oakland’s waterfront, contribute to growing the maritime business in Northern California and generating jobs in the region,” said the port.
Once the STS crane is delivered to the Everport marine terminal at Oakland, it will take about two months for the crane to be reassembled, tested, and commissioned into service.
