Seattle Installing Three More Post-Panamax Cranes

The Port of Seattle is installing three more cranes capable of handling the large container vessels that are expected after the Panama Canal expansion, it said. Its Terminal 18, run by SSA Terminals, will install the Super Post Panamax cranes. The cranes are 267 feet high, and can extend out to handle the new Triple E Class vessels, which can carry up to 18,000 TEU (20-foot equivalent units) with a width of 210 feet, or 24 containers.
