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.
