St Peter Port takes two

Guernsey, UK based St. Peter Port Harbour has taken delivery of a HMK 170 E mobile harbour crane from Terex Port Solutions with plans to take delivery of a second MHK 170 later this year.

The compact HMK 170 has a 63 tonne maximum lifting capacity and a maximum radius of 38 metres. It is predicted that the two cranes will handle up to 50,000 tonnes of container freight per year.

St. Peter Port is currently undergoing a £13.75 million refurbishment of its freight handling facilities. Terex Port Solutions was responsible for the demolition of a quayside portal crane and a 32 tonne derrick crane. Upon the delivery of the second MHK 170 it will also demolish a final two cranes.

Harbour master Peter Gill said: “When fully operational, the two Terex Gottwald Mobile Harbour Cranes will be doing the work of the four former cranes, with obvious benefits in terms of the utilisation of available space and operational efficiency.”
