Hyundai Wins $6.6 Million
Portland Crane Contract
The Port of Portland Commission
awarded a contract to Hyundai Cor-
poration and Hyundai Heavy In-
dustries Co., Ltd., Korea, for ap-
proximately $6.6 million for pur-
chase of a 50-long-ton container
crane with a 100-foot gauge for use
at the port's Terminal 6 container
facility.
Hyundai's proposal includes a
partnering agreement with the
American design firm PACECO,
which has more than three decades
of crane design and manufacturing
experience. The crane is part of an
estimated $15.1 million project to
provide a larger, 100-foot gauge
crane at Terminal 6 and upgrade
work on the container dock and
crane rails. The third generation
December, 1993
crane will accommodate more room
on the dock for the trucks that feed
the cranes. It has a long boom to
reach containers stacked 16-wide
on future post-Panamax ships.
In 1992 the Port of Portland re-
portedly had a 24 percent increase
in container volume over the previ-
ous year. Port container growth
stands at 9.1 percent for the first
nine months of 1993. For more
