ACFT WING STRUCK LIGHT POLE DURING TAXI IN.

Narrative

AFTER DEPARTING THE GATE; THE FO CALLED MY ATTN TO 4 EICAS MESSAGES. WE CONTACTED MAINT FOR ASSISTANCE IN CLRING THE MESSAGES; BUT WERE UNABLE TO DO SO. WE WERE DIRECTED BY MAINT TO THE REMOTE RAMP; SW OF GATE; WHERE THEY WOULD MEET US TO TRY TO FIX THE PROB. AN ACR B767 WAS ALREADY PARKED THERE FACING N; AND IT WAS APPARENT THAT THE PARKING CREW WANTED US JUST W OF THE ACFT; ALSO FACING N. WE HAD A COMPLETE GND CREW OF ABOUT 6 PEOPLE MARSHALLING US INTO THE SPOT; AND THERE WAS A LOT OF ACTIVITY ON THE RAMP. FROM WHERE THE CHIEF MARSHALLER HAD POSITIONED HIMSELF; THERE WAS NOT MUCH ROOM FROM THE EDGE OF THE RAMP TO COMPLETE THE L 90 DEG TURN TO FACE HIM. MY ATTN WAS DIRECTED AT MANEUVERING THE ACFT TO MAKE THE SHARP L TURN; WATCHING THE MARSHALLER AND FOLLOWING HIS SIGNALS. MY ATTN WAS DISTR BY THE OTHER GUIDEMEN (WING WALKERS; ETC) ALSO ON THE RAMP; AND DID NOT NOTICE A LIGHT POLE THAT WAS JUST OFF THE EDGE OF THE RAMP TO THE S. JUST AFTER THE GUIDEMAN GAVE ME THE SIGNAL TO BEGIN THE SHARP L TURN TO FACE HIM; I FELT A SUDDEN JOLT. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS THAT ONE OF THE MAIN GEAR HAD DROPPED INTO A SMALL POTHOLE. IT WAS ONLY TOO APPARENT MOMENTS LATER THAT THE R WING HAD STRUCK THE LIGHT POLE ABOUT 4 FT IN FROM THE WINGTIP.
