Zim, GPA transfer $8 million yacht

   The Port of Savannah used its new barge crane for the first time last month to unload a 100-ton, 92-foot-long yacht from a Zim liner vessel, the Georgia Ports Authority said Monday.
   The Savannah Giant, which entered service in August, has a capacity of 500 short tons.
   The crane was stationed alongside the Zim Ontario for the lift and then transported the yacht in the cradle from the Garden City Terminal down river to the Ocean Terminal and discharged it into a slip.
   The $8 million yacht was built by Alexander yacht builders of Kaohsiung, Taiwain, and is destined for the Miami Boat Show in February.
