Port of Oakland’s newest cargo cranes rival height of iconic Tribune Tower

Taller than Oakland’s storied Tribune Tower building, valued at $30 million, the largest container cranes ever to enter the city are expected to arrive at the Port of Oakland this week.

The three mammoth cranes, among the country’s largest, will soon be unloading cargo from massive ships for owner Stevedoring Services of America. Sailing from China, they were due to anchor off the California coast Christmas Eve enroute to SSA’s Oakland International Container Terminal at the port.
