The new cranes have been added, in part, to support the new Global Wind Projects division launched earlier this year as an operation dedicated to installing and commissioning wind turbines - both onshore and offshore.

Established in 2013, with the acquisition of Port Services Group - which traces its roots back to 1986 - Global Crane Services is based in Inverness and operates from four locations including the Port of Nigg facility which it owns at the entrance to the Cromarty Firth, where a new 225 metre quay has increased its capacity putting it among the top deep water harbours in the UK.
