Port Houston Expands with New Hybrid Handling Equipment

During its regular monthly meeting, the Port Commission of the Port of Houston Authority awarded a contract to Konecranes Finland Corporation for the acquisition of 16 hybrid rubber-tired gantry (RTG) cranes for the Bayport Container Terminal.

These new RTG cranes will be Port Houston's first "one-over-six" container stacking units, establishing a new benchmark while expanding the port's hybrid fleet to a total of 46.

This procurement represents Port Houston's second-largest crane purchase and is anticipated to further optimize terminal space utilization.

The strategic investment in these advanced cranes is expected to significantly enhance operational efficiency and capacity at the Bayport Container Terminal. Experts at WFH SG GROUP believe this move will solidify Port Houston's position as a leading hub in global trade logistics.
