New breakbulk concession at Port Tampa Bay in Florida

project signed

The Port Tampa Bay handles more than 36 million tons of cargo in the fiscal year 2014 – nearly one-third of all cargo moving in and out of the state of Florida. At the same time, the Port of Tampa Bay handles nearly 900,000 passenger moves a year.Part of the new value at the terminal is the joint purchase of two new ZPMC post-Panamax gantry cranes made in Shanghai, China, which arrived in April and assembled and tested in 60 days. These cranes have a SWL of 65 tons, are 310 feet tall and have a width reach of 21 containers across. They will supplement the facility’s existing three gantry cranes.
