The operator of Greenock Ocean Terminal is placing a £17m order for two cranes. Peel Ports said the tender would help to 'future-proof' the freight port as it prepares to accommodate increased demand from cargo owners. [The containerbase is built on the site of Greenock Princes Pier station and the Albert Harbour with its associated goods sidings. A freight only railway served the containerbase until the late 1980s. Much of the route remains and could be reinstated as part of a Green Freeport. A passenger station could also be opened to serve the cruise ship pier. -RS]
