These cranes will help accommodate increased demand from cargo owners, and support growth in transatlantic trade, as well as future proof the port.

“We believe the new cranes will be transformational for our port, and it’s incredible the impact they are having already. It’s clear to the human eye how much quicker they are, and we’ve had a great response from customers and our teams on the efficiencies they’re bringing. With so much pressure on supply chains, it’s invaluable for our customers to know our operations are even faster now.” - Jim McSporran, Clydeport Port Director

The capabilities of the new cranes have already been key in securing new routes, include a new weekly deep sea container service connecting Scotland to the Mediterranean market of Turkey.

The cranes are the largest single investment made at the container terminal and comes less than a year after a new £20 million cruise ship visitor centre opened at the neighbouring Greenock Ocean Terminal.
