I remember the last delivery video. Sad we can't make these cranes in the UK but incredible they sail them all the way from China.

[@ThamesShips]

Thanks for watching. 👍Yes - it is the same for the shipbuilding industry as well sadly.

A great video to watch. This was an amazing sight seeing those very large cranes being delivered on a ship.

[@ThamesShips]

@@Kirribilli_ships Thanks. Yes - as mentioned in the video, more cranes were delivered back in February for the new container berth that they are building at London Gateway which is about 45 minutes sailing time up the river from Southend Pier. They have three berths there at the moment and are building a fourth.

@@ShipsandShipping Thanks Chris. Yes - Paul has been supporting me since the early days of the channel. I have started following your page and will maybe see you down at Tilbury one day.

[@ThamesShips]

Thanks. I don't usually upload videos this late in the day but as it is the 80th anniversary of D-Day tomorrow I didn't want to upload it tomorrow.

[@ThamesShips]

[@UKShipspottingRailFreightTV]

@ThamesShips I did indeed.Told him you made great vids from the Thames and sent him the link to the vid of the cranes passing Southend.I did see him earlier after I had filmed msc lorenza.

Fantastic. It sailed this way from China all the way to Great Britain? Incredible.

[@ThamesShips]

Yes. I think that it left Shanghai on 4th April so it took about 2 months to sail here.
