Watch: State-Of-The-Art Electric Container Cranes For The Port Of The Future
JAXPORT’s ongoing investment in building the port of the future was on display today as three state-of-the-art 100-gauge electric container cranes cruised in on the St. Johns River. The cranes arrived at the Blount Island Marine Terminal aboard the specialty vessel Zhen Hua 14, which departed from Shanghai, China in early June. They will be offloaded at the newly reconstructed Berth 35 and will be fully-operational by the end of the year.
The new container cranes are equipped to service wider, post-Panamax vessels with the ability to reach across 22 containers, a significant increase from the 16 container capabilities of the terminal’s current cranes. Each electric crane will work on regenerative power, consuming power during the lifting of containers and creating energy as they lower. The use of electricity will increase energy efficiencies and reduce emissions.
