Electric cranes lift Teesport’s green credentials

[ May 16, 2023   //   ]

Two new electric harbour cranes, worth £8.6 million have arrived in PD Ports’ Tees Dock. The 83m high Liebherr cranes also improve handling capacity from 100 to 140 tonnes, are electric-hydraulic powered and offer a more environmentally conscious and efficient solution for loading and discharging a range of bulk commodities.

They are the latest investment following the unveiling of the £12 million Teesport Bulks Terminal in 2020.

PD Ports says it is on track to be carbon neutral by 2027 and hopes to become the UK’s most sustainable port operator.
