Port Freeport Welcomes Two New Super Post-Panamax Cranes In Centennial Year
6 Oct 2025
FREEPORT, TX (October 06, 2025) – Port Freeport marked a historic milestone on Monday, September 22, 2025, with the delivery of two state-of-the-art Super Post-Panamax Ship-toShore Gantry Cranes. Their arrival, coinciding with the Port’s 100th anniversary, underscores Port Freeport’s enduring commitment to growth, innovation, and service to the region.
Transported fully erected aboard a heavy-lift vessel, the cranes were carefully offloaded and secured to the docks. Following installation and testing this fall, the new equipment will be placed in service, dramatically expanding the Port’s capacity to service some of the world’s largest container vessels efficiently.
“These cranes are a major investment in the future of Port Freeport and our community,” said Rob Giesecke, Chairman of the Port Freeport Commission. “They will act as a catalyst for future growth, helping us attract new business, create more jobs, and increase operating revenues to keep Port Freeport at zero-tax.”
