Watch: Stunning drone vision shows giant 83-metre cranes arriving in Auckland’s Waitematā Harbour

October 5, 2018

Stunning drone video captured the arrival of three giant cranes, taller than the Auckland Harbour Bridge, in Waitematā Harbour this morning.

The 82.3-metre-tall, 2100-tonne cranes, one-fourth the size of the Sky Tower, arrived on a ship after a three-week journey from Shanghai.

The aerial vision shows the cranes towering on the ship as it enters the harbour and approaches the dock with the morning sun gleaming on the water, and guided by pilot boats.

Standing more than 80m tall, the 2000t cranes dwarf the Auckland Harbour Bridge.

The massive cranes will allow Ports of Auckland to offload shipping containers more efficiently.
