Prince Rupert adds fourth container handling crane

A new container handling gantry crane arrived at the Port of Prince Rupert’s Fairview Container Terminal Saturday aboard the heavy cargo vessel Zheng Hua 11, concluding its 8,300-kilometre journey from manufacturer ZPMC in Shanghai, China.
The new crane brings the port’s total complement of Super-Post Panamax container cranes to four. The new crane is identical to the three that were installed when the terminal opened in 2007. Each crane has a 22-container reach and weighs over 1,800 tonnes, said a port release.
