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.
