The Board of the Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) has approved the purchase of 10 additional Konecranes Rubber Tired Gantry (RTG) cranes. This will bring the fleet at Garden City Terminal, Port of Savannah, to 156 Konecranes RTGs. The Port of Savannah had a record April in which 356,700 twenty-foot equivalent container units (TEU) were moved, an increase of 7.1% over April of last year. 

佐治亚港口局（GPA) 董事会已经批准另外购买10台科尼轮胎式集装箱门式起重机（RTG)。 这项决定将会使萨凡纳港的花园城市站的港口的科尼RTG的总数增至156台。萨凡纳港在4月创造了移动356, 700个20英尺当量集装箱单元 （TEU） 的记录，比去年4月增长了7.1%。

“We’re on track to move more than 300,000 TEUs in every month of the fiscal year, which will be a first for the Authority,” said GPA Executive Director Griff Lynch. “We’re also anticipating this to be the first fiscal year for the Port of Savannah to handle more than 4 million TEUs,” continued Lynch. As the fastest growing container port in the USA, the Port of Savannah has achieved a compound annual growth rate of more than 5% a year over the past decade.  

“我们在本财年的几个月中，每个月都在移动超过30万个TEU，也是港口局记录最好的一年”，佐治亚港口局的执行董事Griff Lynch说。“我们也期望这将是萨凡纳港处理超过4百万TEU的第一个财年”，Lynch继续说。作为美国增长最快的集装箱港，萨凡纳港在过去了20年中创造了每年的复合年增长率超过5%的成绩。

The new cranes will handle containers in three new container rows that will increase annual capacity at the Port of Savannah by 150,000 TEUs. The RTGs will work over stacks that are five containers high and six deep, with a truck lane running alongside the stacks. Capable of running on electricity with cable-reel readiness, the cranes will have a lifting capacity of 50 metric tons. The cranes will be delivered in two batches of five in the first and second quarters of 2019. 

新的起重机将在3个新的集装箱行中处理集装箱，这将使得萨凡纳港的年吞吐量增加到15万TEU。 RTG将在5个集装箱高，6个集装箱深的堆码上工作，在堆码旁边有卡车车道。这些起重机在依靠外部电力电源的情况下，其负载能力为50公吨。该订单将分两批交付，分别在2019年的1季度和2季度。

“It has been tremendously satisfying over the years to witness the growth and success of the Port of Savannah,” said Tuomas Saastamoinen, Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Konecranes Port Solutions. “I hope and believe that the GPA will break the 4 million TEU threshold this fiscal year (July 1, 2017-June 30, 2018), as anticipated. The new Konecranes RTGs will be part of this continuing success story.”  

 “在这些年中目睹萨凡纳港的成长和成功是一件令人很满意的事情”，科尼港口解决方案营销高级副总裁Tuomas Saastamoinen说，“我希望并且相信，正如预期的那样，佐治亚港口局在这个财政年度（2017年7月1日－2018年6月30日）将突破4百万TEU大关。 新的科尼RTG将成为这个持续成功故事的一部分”。
