Port Everglades staff and community leaders joined together to commission three new super-post-panamax gantry cranes during a live-streamed ribbon cutting ceremony. “We are adding new cargo berths, deepening and widening our waterways, expanding our cargo and rail capacity all while paying close attention to the needs of our fragile environment,” said Chief Executive and Port Director Jonathan Daniels. Watch a recording of the crane commissioning ceremony (ribbon-cutting starts at 31:36). The tallest cranes in North America are now part of the skyline at the Port of Oakland. “These new cranes at Oakland are going to make a significant difference in the ability to handle cargo more efficiently” said Port of Oakland Maritime Director Bryan Brandes. See the time lapse video “ Building Giant Cranes” to watch the assembly of one of the cranes.
