2007, Feb 7: The Port of Kingston received the
first two of six new ship to shore gantry cranes late in January ordered as part
of the current expansion project taking place at the Port.
Jamaica has invested just over US$45 million for
the acquisition of the six super post-Panamax cranes from the Shanghai Zhenhua
Port Machinery Company Limited of China.
The remaining four cranes are scheduled to arrive
by August.
The cost of this phase (Phase 5) of the Port’s
expansion is approximately US$240 million.
The current expansion of the Kingston container
terminal is expected to be completed by the end of this year Kingston will then
have 19 cranes, including 14 super-post Panamax cranes, 74 straddle carriers, 14
empty container stackers.
