Some new cranes have a 120-tonne load capacity, enabling them to lift up to four 20-foot (6.1 m) or two 40-foot (12 m) containers. Cranes capable of lifting six 20-foot containers have also been designed. Post-Panamax cranes weigh approximately 800–900 tonnes, while the newer-generation super-post-Panamax cranes can weigh 1,600–2,000 tonnes.
Panamax specifications have been in effect since the opening of the canal in 1914. In 2009, the ACP published the "New Panamax" specification, [2] which came into effect when the canal's third set of locks, larger than the original two, opened on 26 June 2016. Ships that do not fall within the Panamax-sizes are called post-Panamax or super-Panamax.
The Post-Panamax category has historically been used to describe ships with a moulded breadth over 32.31 m, [30] however the Panama Canal expansion project has caused some changes in terminology. The Neopanamax category is based on the maximum vessel size that is able to transit a new third set of locks, which opened in June 2016.
A crane's discharge rate is limited by the bucket's capacity (from 6 to 40 tons) and by the speed at which the crane can take a load, deposit it at the terminal and return to take the next. For modern gantry cranes, the total time of the grab-deposit-return cycle is about 50 seconds.
On 21 January 2010, [50] two huge post-panamax cranes arrived at the Port of the Americas from Shanghai, China. [ 51 ] [ 52 ] They were built by ZPMC at a cost of $22.7 million. [ 52 ] In addition to the two post-Panamax cranes, the port's inventory consists of one Gottwald crane—used for "loose" freight—and seven Rubber Tire Gantry cranes ...
A Panamax port is a deepwater port that can accommodate a fully laden Panamax ship. With the completion of the Panama Canal expansion project in 2016, this list will need to be significantly revised due to larger "post panamax" ships transiting Panama.
The berths have a depth between 14.5 m (48 ft) and 16.5 m (54 ft) and are equipped with 5 Post-Panamax cranes and 3 mobile harbour cranes. [ 2 ] The CSCT also has a rail terminal with 3 lines, each 600 m (2,000 ft) long capable of handling 3 complete 30 wagon trains at one time and equipped with 2 rail mounted gantries and a storage area of ...
