The Port of Hartlepool's machinery park is now bigger with a new Konecranes Gottwald ESP.6 mobile harbour crane that's able to lift 125 tonnes and has a working radius of 49 metres.

Following assembly and testing in Antwerp, the crane was brought to Hartlepool on board Meriaura's Aura.

Shortly before, PD Ports' Teesport grew with a Liebherr LPS 550 electric portal slewing crane.
