Project Description
The project involves providing, delivering, and making fully ready for service acceptance, three (3) 100-ft gage dockside container handling gantry cranes to be placed on the North Wharf Extension at Norfolk International Terminals.
Assembly of all three cranes is complete. They are en route to The Port of Virginia aboard the Zhenhua 16, which left Shanghai on March 31st. The ship will travel west from China, around the Cape of Good Hope, then northward up the coast of Africa, crossing the Atlantic when weather permits. The ship is now headed directly west and is midway between Africa and South America. Its approximate location is indicated by the red star on the map to the right.
