ABP’S PORT OF GOOLE SET TO BENEFIT FROM NEW CRANE
Cargo-handling capacity at Associated British Ports’ (ABP) Port of Goole is set to receive a boost following the recent delivery of a state-of-the-art Liebherr LHM70 mobile harbour crane. The new crane represents an investment of approximately £600,000 on the part of ABP.
The Liebherr LHM70 mobile harbour crane possesses a lifting capacity of 26 tonnes and offers full break-bulk and dry-bulk capabilities. Stationed at the port’s enclosed West Dock, the crane will handle a wide variety of cargoes. The crane’s mobility will also allow it to be deployed at any point on the dock’s quayside and so will offer greatly improved flexibility.
Doug Morrison, Port Director, ABP Hull & Goole, welcomed the arrival of the new lifting equipment:
“This significant investment demonstrates our determination to improve continually the service we offer to our customers. The introduction of this highly advanced crane will increase the port’s efficiency in handling steel, timber and other break-bulk cargoes, and will significantly improve ships’ turnaround times. Enhancing our operational capacity will benefit our extensive customer base and further increase the level of service we offer at the Port of Goole.”
