2009: SSA moves (3) SSA‐owned cranes to T‐30,
only (1) SSA‐owned crane remains on T‐18

SSA installs (4)
SSA‐owned cranes
on Terminal 18

The above graph shows the average annual usage of Terminal 18 Port‐owned cranes since 2002, and
the impact on tenant usage of Port‐owned cranes for years in which multiple SSA‐owned cranes are
operating on the terminal.
Explanation of chart components:
 Blue bars - show annual TEU volume for Terminal 18
 Green line - shows the guaranteed annual minimum of 1,250 crane hours per crane,
applicable to specific Port‐owned cranes.
 Red line - shows the average actual usage for each Port‐owned crane subject to the annual
minimum of 1,250 crane hours for that year. If the tenant chooses to use Port‐owned
cranes with designated annual minimums for less than the guaranteed minimum usage, the
tenant is billed for the shortfall in guaranteed crane rent owed to the Port at the end of
each calendar year. There was a shortfall in usage of Port‐owned cranes in years 2007 &
2008, when SSA had (4) SSA‐owned cranes operating on the terminal - SSA was billed
accordingly for the shortfall in guaranteed crane rent for those years.
