New $5M harbour crane arrives; will help modernise port operations
The Port Authority of the Cayman Islands has taken delivery of a new purpose-built maritime cargo crane, a long-awaited upgrade that officials say will significantly improve safety, efficiency and reliability at the Cayman’s busiest commercial port.
The Konecranes Gottwald harbour crane, manufactured in Germany and shipped from the Port of Antwerp, arrived in Grand Cayman on 29 Nov. The $5-million investment forms a central element of the Port Authority’s multi-year cargo modernisation strategy, replacing ageing modified construction cranes that have long struggled to keep pace with growing demand.
