DP World and Port Saint John on كندا’s Atlantic coast have welcomed two new post-Panamax cranes to the container terminal.
The new additions, Hyundai Heavy Industries container cranes, bring the number of cranes at Port Saint John to four. They have an outreach of 19ft, can reach up to 21 containers wide and are capable of servicing vessels with a capacity between 10,000 and 14,000 TEUs.
They arrived from South Carolina, US, and are the bigger brothers to the two cranes that arrived in 2016.
DP World, a global end-to-end logistics solutions provider, said the cranes would strengthen the port’s position as an integral part of the Atlantic Gateway, and mark a significant milestone in Port Saint John’s $205m modernisation project – a three-way partnership between the Government of Canada, the Province of New Brunswick and Port Saint John.
Donna Noade Reardon, mayor, City of Saint John, New Brunswick, said: “We are thrilled to have a global partner like DP World investing in Port Saint John… The new cranes will significantly increase shipping capacity, reaffirming Saint John's position on the global stage as a world-class container option.”
“The arrival of these two cranes is symbolic of the growth we can offer not only to port business, but also to our community and our region,” added Craig Bell Estabrooks, president and CEO of Port Saint John.
“Soon we will have more than double the capacity to move product and to create jobs… With every new milestone we hit, we solidify our position as one of Canada’s top ports.”
Maksim Mihic, CEO and general manager DP World (Canada), said: “With connections to 500 ports worldwide, intermodal transportation and three class-one railways, Port Saint John is well positioned for growth for the foreseeable future. The investments being made throughout the trade ecosystem including logistics services will make the port a more competitive gateway for decades to come.”
