GCT Deltaport Ship-to-Shore Crane Replacement Project 

Part of GCT’s continuous investment in Canada’s Pacific Gateway

As part of our ongoing investment in modern, efficient equipment to enhance safety and operations and maintain the competitiveness of Canada's Pacific Gateway, we are proud to announce the GCT Deltaport Ship-to-Shore (STS) Crane Replacement Project. This initiative represents an investment of over $170M in new equipment to enhance operations at GCT Deltaport.

Over the next two years, we will replace six of the original STS cranes with six new, state-of-the-art Megamax cranes. Upon completion, GCT Deltaport will operate a fleet of eight Megamax cranes and four Super-Post-Panamax cranes, ensuring robust and efficient operations. The first phase, commissioning cranes 13 and 14, is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2025, with phases two and three following between late 2025 and 2027.

This project will deliver numerous benefits, including enhanced safety, improved cargo handling, greater operational flexibility, increased reliability and maintenance efficiency, and the integration of cutting-edge innovations and real-time data capabilities.

We invite you to follow along for project updates and announcements below.
