harbor crane
Portside cargo hoist
A harbor crane is a large crane installed at a port or dock for loading and unloading cargo from ships.
Modern container ports use specialized gantry cranes that straddle the dock and reach over vessels, while older harbors may still employ various fixed or mobile crane types.
The harbor cranes worked through the night to unload the freighter.
