Cityscape // This new 124-ton crane stands tall at the Richmond Marine Terminal, making it easier to load and unload cargo from ships docked at the James River port off Commerce Road in South Side. The crane, which reaches about 24 stories, cost $4.2 million and is part of the $17 million being invested in the port by the Virginia Port Authority, the independent agency leasing and operating the city’s port for the next 40 years.
