The global ship-to-shore cranes market size reached US$ 2.9 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 3.9 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9% during 2023-2028.

A ship-to-shore (STS) crane is used in ports and docks for loading and unloading shipping containers. It improves performance and provides high reliability, power regeneration, and a robust structure optimum for terminal automation. At present, several companies operating in the industry are offering modular designs that are lightweight and durable and require low maintenance. As these designs can be customized according to a customer’s requirements, the popularity of STS cranes are rising across the globe.

Ship-to-Shore Cranes Market Trends:
The increasing use of online shopping platforms for buying imported goods is driving the need for shipping containers to facilitate cross-border e-commerce activities. This represents one of the key factors positively influencing the demand for STS cranes to improve the reliability and productivity of port terminals. Apart from this, governing agencies of numerous countries are promoting the manufacturing of goods locally and international trade through favorable export and import policies and the construction of port infrastructure, which is impelling the market growth. Apart from this, technological advancements like automation and external control of STS cranes via remote computers enable controllers to monitor crane operations without distortion of vision caused by rain, wind, or fog. This, in confluence with the growing emphasis on port automation to minimize human error, optimize power consumption, and enhance container management efficiency, is contributing to the market growth. In addition to this, several leading market players are focusing on integrating technologies, such as electronic load systems (ELC) and ship profiling systems (SPS), to allow the safe transfer of containers. These players are also offering innovative solutions that enable maritime port operators to maintain a competitive edge in the market.
