“This order underscores the shift now underway in the U.S. container handling market. For decades, terminals depended heavily on Chinese manufacturers. Today, PACECO® and MITSUI E&S are proving that there are reliable alternatives that both meet the needs of U.S. ports and support broader national security and supply chain resilience goals,” said Troy Collard, General Manager of Sales at PACECO®.

The new cranes are based on PACECO’s standardized design approach, refined through previous deliveries to terminals in the US and worldwide. This model allows customers to benefit from a proven, standard platform while incorporating custom features tailored to their operations. The TTI cranes will be capable of serving vessels of up to 24,000 TEUs, among the largest in service today.

The new cranes are expected to enter service in 2027 following completion of manufacturing and installation.

Paceco’s recent delivery of six Rubber Tired Gantry Cranes to TTI in August, designed with a fuel-efficient battery-electric hybrid system, has the ability to be readily upgraded to full zero-emission operation through integration with hydrogen fuel cell or shore power solutions. This upgrade pathway has already been validated by PACECO’s successful deployment of the world’s first hydrogen-powered RTG crane at Yusen Terminals in Los Angeles in 2024.

Together, these projects demonstrate how PACECO® and MITSUI E&S are positioned to meet rising demand for advanced crane solutions built with significant U.S. components and designed in close alignment with U.S. national security priorities, reinforcing PACECO’s role as a trusted partner to U.S. ports — advancing opportunities for domestic job creation, strengthening supply chains, and supporting national security priorities while aligning with evolving U.S. trade policy.
