The first two of four Liebherr electric cranes entered service at TraPac\u2019s Oakland terminal following commissioning on 7 July. Manufactured in Ireland and assembled on-site, the cranes are the first European-built ship-to-shore cranes delivered to a US West Coast port.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese cranes represent a commitment to Oakland and the promise of Oakland,\u201d said Kristi McKenney, executive director, Port of Oakland.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s our shared commitment, it\u2019s our shared endeavors, it\u2019s our shared growth, it\u2019s our shared opportunity and the prosperity that we bring to our communities and regions far and wide with global trade.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fully electric<\/strong><\/p>\n The investment in new port equipment enables the terminal to handle larger container vessels while improving efficiency and reducing emissions through full electric operation.<\/p>\n Standing more than 440ft tall, the cranes can reach across vessels spanning 24 container rows and work stacks up to 11 containers high.<\/p>\n TraPac said the investment will enhance cargo handling performance by accommodating the world\u2019s largest container ships, increasing cargo capacity and improving vessel turnaround times.<\/p>\n The fully electric cranes also support the Port of Oakland\u2019s port electrification strategy by lowering the carbon footprint per container lift while contributing to cleaner air for neighbouring communities. The project further reinforces Oakland\u2019s position as a major gateway for refrigerated and agricultural exports.<\/p>\n Construction and assembly of the new port equipment generated approximately 2,100 jobs using ILWU labour.<\/p>\n Two additional Liebherr electric cranes remain under construction at TraPac Terminal and are scheduled to enter service in autumn 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Port of Oakland and TraPac have commissioned two new electric ship-to-shore cranes, strengthening port electrification, cargo handling capacity and sustainable port operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":6526,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33,22],"tags":[132,24,637,206,2642],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-6525","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-americas-greenport","category-products-services-greenport","tag-electric-cranes","tag-liebherr","tag-port-electrification","tag-port-of-oakland","tag-trapac"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6525","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6525"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6525\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6527,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6525\/revisions\/6527"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6526"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6525"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6525"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=6525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
