In March 2024, an Industry Forum was held by the Navy Crane Center. The intent of the Industry Forum was to perform market research on the procurement of portal cranes for the U.S. Navy, which was accomplished due to the support and feedback received from industry.

The U.S. Navy recognizes these challenges faced by potential portal crane builders and is committed to evaluating improvements to the process based on additional feedback from the industry.
We are considering two alternative options to the current practice for shipping, assembly and acceptance testing. The first is to allow for assembly and acceptance testing to occur at the supported command (i.e. the location the crane will actually be used). The second option is for the government to procure, and make available to contractors, a facility (or multiple facilities, one on each coast) ded... - Documents:
