In addition to superior lifting power, it has a number of other enhanced capabilities, including being able to operate in greater wind speeds.

“Our core business is serving the oil and gas industry and we intend to
dedicate this machine to this sector,” adds Clark.

“We believe the purchase of this mobile heavy lifting machine will further strengthen our position in the marketplace and allow Port Services to offer even more innovative, time saving and economical solutions to our clients.”

The Aberdeen will also take delivery of a new 500 tonne class crane towards the end of the year.
