The skyline at Townsville port has changed today with Northern Stevedoring Services (NSS) taking delivery of a Liebherr LHM1300 mobile harbour crane at the Port of Townsville.

Due to the growth of stevedoring services in the region, NSS has secured the harbour crane from Melbourne.

The crane offers NSS customers an improved productivity when compared to using ships cranes, better berthing options for vessels that do not have ships cranes, improved capacity for project cargoes and additional risk mitigation against crane outages in the Port.

“NSS continues to invest in productive capacity in the regions stevedoring, transport and logistics services. We have a firm focus on growth and with this comes the creation of exciting new job opportunities for locals,” said General Manager, Todd Emmert.

“This investment in infrastructure to service importers and exporters in Townsville highlights NSS' commitment to the sustainable management of trade growth in the region.”

NSS is headquartered in Townsville and operates in Gladstone, Mackay, Cairns and Weipa Ports.
