HCT to invest in extra super post-Panamax cranes

“The investment in new cranes is indicative of Halterm’s confidence in the long-term strength of the Halifax market,” said Ashley Dinning, CEO of HCT.

Featuring the deepest container berths on the Eastern Seaboard capable of handling vessels of any size, the port’s existing capacity can accommodate a tripling of container volumes. Work on a US$35.7m terminal project to extend and deepen the quay, which is currently underway, will provide operational flexibility to accommodate two of the world’s largest vessels simultaneously.

“This additional investment signifies a solid private sector commitment to the long-term growth of the Port of Halifax.” said Karen Oldfield, President and CEO of Halifax Port Authority.
