On September 22, 2025, Port Freeport celebrated its 100th anniversary by receiving two advanced Super Post-Panamax Ship-to-Shore Gantry Cranes, marking a significant enhancement in its capacity to service large container vessels. Rob Giesecke, Chairman of the Port Freeport Commission, highlighted that this investment will foster growth, job creation, and increased revenues. The cranes, towering over 300 feet and equipped with cutting-edge technology, will be operational later this fall, representing a pivotal moment for the Port’s future and its ongoing commitment to world-class infrastructure.
