Making Boston big ship ready April 14, 2021, by Eldin Ganic
Three new low profile Neo-Panamax cranes have begun their journey to Boston on a ship from Shanghai, Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) said in their latest release.
The cranes will arrive at Conley Terminal this summer and will be operational this fall.
These cranes, along with a new berth and a deepened Boston Harbor, enable Boston to handle larger ships, more New England importers and exporters to connect with the global marketplace, and facilitate future growth at Conley Terminal, said Massport.
Nearly $850M in investment has gone into the Port in recent years to prepare Conley Terminal to be big ship ready in order to support the regional economy.
