The 45 metre high crane, which weighs 524 tonnes, arrived in large sections on board the heavy load carrier vessel the <em>Eemslift Ellen<\/em> after sailing from Liebherr\u2019s state of the art facility in Killarney, South West Ireland, where the crane was designed and built.<\/p>\n<p>The crane has been unloaded onto the quayside (<em>see images<\/em>) and will now be constructed by the expert build team from Liebherr on site at the port. The crane will be ready to lift its first cargo by late October and will improve vessel turnaround times, increase capacity for growth and support existing operations.\u00a0The new crane is also future proofed to enable taller straddle carriers to work underneath the crane legs, allowing the port to further increase its overall container storage capability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Derek Knox, Grangemouth\u2019s Port Manager<\/strong>, said: \u201c<em>This is an exciting time for the port as we welcome our new ship to shore crane. We handle some of Scotland\u2019s most valuable exports, such as fine foods and drinks, so it is important that we deliver fast turnaround times to maintain the vessel schedules and ensure their reliability to service the Scottish export market.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sprengthomson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/shore-crane-arrival-release-27-August.pdf\">Download full press release<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Port of Grangemouth has this week welcomed its new multimillion pound container crane which is set to increase the number of ship to shore cranes at the port by 50% and change the skyline at Scotland\u2019s largest container facility.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":3060,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[121,9,123,122],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 -
