Portland port to receive ZPMC gantry crane
The Oregon port of Portland is making preparations to welcome its fourth post-Panamax gantry crane.
The new 16-story 1,400-ton quay crane is set to arrive at the mouth of the Columbia River by Wednesday and end its 5,800-mile trip from China a day later in Portland.
The crane was built by Zhenhau Port Machinery Co. of Shanghai at a cost of $7.9 million. The entire Portland project, including an electrical substation, engineering, and inspection, will cost the port $10.5 million.
An Oregon state government program to fund non-highway transportation infrastructure is paying for $7.5 million of the Portland project with the port is picking up the balance of the cost.
