Earlier this week, the Port of Savannah took delivery of 4 new, super post-Panamax cranes.  These container cranes are some of the largest in the world and can handle ships that carry up to 22 rows of containers on their decks.  In addition to being huge, the cranes are environmentally friendly.  To begin with, they are electric not diesel.  In addition, they generate a significant portion of their electrical requirements internally, utilizing the pull of gravity to spin up generators.  Overall, this is another good move by Savannah to prepare themselves to accommodate the future big ships and an important step to protect the environment.
