Removal of Ship-to-Shore Container Cranes – Terminal 18 & 46

Project Overview

Removal of four undersized ship-to-shore (STS) container cranes from T18 and T46 in the North Harbor. On-site disassembly was performed utilizing the 1,000-ton Pacific Lifter crane barge. Currently the largest West Coast based floating crane.  Large structural sections of the cranes were removed in engineered lifts and placed on the material barges. The disassembly sequence established seven major structural members, ranging in weight from 15-tons to 300-tons.

Project Highlights

  • Tacoma’s new cranes have an outreach of 24 containers and a lift height of 165 feet above the pier deck, putting them among the largest on the West Coast.
