A ship-to-shore crane, also known as a floating crane, is a category of high dockside gantenna crane usually found at sea ports for loading and unload inbound cargo from ship-to-ship containers. It has a vertical mast that extends along the length of the crane's deck while two or more legs extend out in front, allowing it to be remotely operated. This crane system is one of the most important components of a large shipping container or other dock system. It is used to transfer large loads of freight or other heavy items vertically from one dock to another.
The demand for these cranes is anticipated to increase as the global ship-to-shore cranes market grows. Global ship-to-shore cranes market growth is expected to be driven by a number of factors, including the high costs of international cargo and the need to make goods available at the fastest pace. International freight rates are forecast to increase over the next few years due to an increase in traffic between major ports around the world as well as an increasingly difficult economic climate in the United States, resulting in more goods being shipped internationally. Additionally, the tighter restrictions imposed on the transport of hazardous materials in the United States by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are expected to result in a rapid increase in the number of shipments of non-emergency medical and hazardous materials between the United States and Canada that are subjected to tighter EPA inspection.
