Working list: World’s tallest seaport cranes

All the cranes listed are ship-to-shore (STS) designs unless otherwise indicated in parentheses next to the height of the crane. The minimum height for inclusion on the list is 200 feet. In many cases, there are multiple cranes of the same size at the same seaport.

Please note that whenever possible the fully raised boom-up height is used, though in some cases the superstructure height may only be shown. Variations in height depend on a number of factors including harbor/channel depth (impacting ship sizes), bridge clearance, seaport specialization, the use of low-profile cranes, and even proximity to the flight paths of nearby airports.

If a seaport is listed more than once, it may be different types of cranes, different generations of cranes being represented, or the locational requirements necessitate an alternate size. As more information becomes available, additional cranes will be added. As always, any additions, corrections, or suggestions are most welcome. Peace!

= Known height

~ Estimated height is based on outreach, height above ground, and approx. raised angle

*Identified gantry cranes below, are strictly traditional gantry cranes, not STS cranes perched upon a gantry.
