The Port of Oakland received the West Coast\u2019s first European-built, fully electric ship-to-shore cranes from Ireland on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The first of four destined for the port\u2019s TraPac Terminal, the Liebherr-built cranes will help dock workers handle the world\u2019s largest container ships faster and more efficiently, port officials said in a news release Thursday.<\/p>\n

The cranes, which will stand more than 440 feet tall, arrived in sections and will be assembled at the port. They are expected to be up and running by May of 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very excited, and this is part of the Port\u2019s broader modernization efforts,\u201d said Bryan Brandes, the port\u2019s maritime director. \u201cWe\u2019re focused on making improvements that support reliable operations and long-term environmental goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

The second pair of Liebherr cranes will arrive in Oakland later this year.<\/p>\n
