Jumbo Jubilee






 The first of two new ‘transformational’ £25 million ship-to-shore cranes has been delivered to Greenock’s container terminal.

Built in Cork, the 932-tonne structure will help accommodate increased demand from cargo owners and support growth in transatlantic trade.

Port operator Peel Ports Clydeport says the cranes have already been key in securing new routes, including a new weekly deep sea container service connecting Scotland to the Mediterranean market of Turkey.

The first crane arrived at the freight port following a one-day journey from Cobh, with work beginning to install it shortly.
