The cranes are powered by hybrid drives with battery packs charged by a small diesel engine and are equipped with the latest technology in the container shipping industry.<\/p>\n<p>The contract for the equipment was awarded to Konecranes Finland Corp., which was selected after the request for proposals process was completed. The cranes will provide support to the 50-acre expansion of Container Yard 7. Construction is ongoing and scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2020. Opened in 2007, the Bayport terminal is about 60 percent complete.<\/p>\n<p>While construction to expand Bayport continues, Port Houston\u2019s additional container terminal, Barbours Cut, continues to be modernized. A $287 million capital plan for 2019 is primarily focused on container yard and wharf renovation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Port Commission in June awarded a contract for nine new diesel electric container yard cranes for Port Houston\u2019s Bayport Container Terminal.
