PORT AUTHORITY DEDICATES TWO NEW MOBILE HARBOR CRANES - PORT OF TOLEDO WELCOMES NEW CSX CRANES
TOLEDO, Ohio, June 17, 2010 – The Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority dedicated and named two new Liebherr Mobile Harbor Cranes today in a joint ceremony with CSX at the Toledo Maritime Center.
The Liebherr LHM 280 cranes arrived at Midwest Terminals of Toledo, from Austria, on May 17, 2010 aboard
the M/V Serena. Funding for the purchase of the cranes came from American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
resources, administered by the Ohio Department of Transportation.
“This investment in a port facility is a unique venture for the Ohio Department of Transportation,” says Paul L. Toth, President and CEO of the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority. “Roads and bridges are certainly important, but investments such as these in multi-modal port facilities have an exponential economic impact in terms of employment and commerce.”
