New post-Panamax cranes for PAMT

Two new post-Panamax container cranes have arrived at Philadelphia’ s Packer Avenue Marine Terminal (PAMT), operated by Greenwich Terminals LLC. The cranes, built by Hyundai Heavy Industries, have an outreach of 45.7m and are capable of a 65-tonne twin 20′ lift. On a dramatic voyage from Busan via the Cape of Good Hope the cranes aboard the semisubmersible heavy lift vessel ‘ Swan’ had to endure extreme weather and 9 metre waves.
