Uplifting job sees little boat hitch a ride on big ship
THERE was an unusual job for crane operators at DP World's London Gateway port yesterday.
Port operations director Andrew Bowen picks up the story, saying: "Container terminals don't just move steel boxes. Ever thought about how some odd shaped cargo is transported around the world?
"The team yesterday (Saturday, 6 March) lifted an amazing UK-made cruiser out the Thames using one of quay cranes.
"It will then be loaded onto a ship and be transported all of the way to my home town of Brisbane, Australia! Great job the team."
