The Port Authority of Guam continues to modernize its operations with the arrival of nine new container yard tractors. 

The new tractor additions are part of the $5.7 million grant awarded to the Port by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration under the America’s Marine Highway Program. 

This funding has allowed the Port to expand its fleet of specialized container yard equipment, boosting operations and strengthening its ability to handle cargo efficiently.

So far, through federal funding, the Port has procured the following equipment: 

  • Two 40-ton loaded container handler (valued at $1,247,000)
  • Three 10-ton empty container handlers (valued at $687,000)
  • One 180-foot boom lift (valued at $517, 205.41)
  • Nine container yard tractors (valued at $1,791,327)

     

While the arrival of the yard tractors is a major milestone, the Port still awaits the delivery of five 5.5-ton forklifts and two 40-plug mobile reefer generators.
