Zim, Savannah Giant Move 100-ton Yacht

ZIM’s Special cargo team handled a unique shipment of a 100-ton, 92-foot long yacht, shipped on board C/V ZIM Ontario from Asia to the Port of Savannah. The new barge crane, the Savannah Giant, was used for the first time during the discharge operation in Sept.23. “The Savannah Giant is a valuable addition to our offerings at the Port of Savannah, with a capacity of up to 500 short tons,” said Georgia Ports Authority Executive Director Curtis Foltz. The crane was stationed alongside the Zim Ontario to make the lift from the vessel.
