| New cranes arrive at Jacksonville Port Authority’s Blount Island Marine Terminal. |
The cranes are worth $10 million each, stand 170 feet tall and weigh 1,050 tons. Each crane boasts a 145-foot front reach and can lift 50 long tons of cargo.
They were manufactured in China by ZPMC, the world’s largest builder of port cranes. They will be in full operation later this fall, boosting the number of working container cranes at Blount Island to eight and increasing the terminal’s cargo handling capabilities.
