On Sunday, May 23rd four ZPMC Super-Post Panamax Cranes departed Shanghai heading east to the Northwest Seaport Alliance’s (NWSA) Terminal 5 in the Seattle Harbor.
Traveling on vessel Zhen Hua 36, the cranes have an approximate 30-day voyage before settling in their new home at Terminal 5. Standing 316 feet tall with a 240-foot outreach boom, these cranes will be among the largest on the West Coast and able to handle the biggest container vessels operating in the world, once Terminal 5 is completed early next year.
The Northwest Seaport Alliance will be tracking the Zhen Hua 36 across the Pacific Ocean. Vessel tracking will be updated daily to reflect the Zhen Hua‘s journey. The public is invited to watch the crane voyage at: https://bit.ly/2QPMRhy.
