Southampton orders two more mobile harbour cranes
The cranes, which are currently being assembled, will be used for handling containers and are scheduled to be commissioned later this month (September) and early October respectively.
Doug Morrison, ABP port director, Southampton, said: “The Port of Southampton has grown considerably in recent years, requiring significant investment on ABP’s part.”
“As part of our 25-year agreement with Huelin-Renouf, which provides shipping and freight-forwarding services for the Channel Islands, we invested £6m in new facilities to support the business and this prompted our subsequent order for two new mobile harbour cranes. The HMK 170 E cranes are ideal for our needs and we very much look forward to receiving them and putting them to good use on the quayside,” he said.
