What:
The delivery of two Super Post-Panamax cranes destined for Vanterm terminal has been rescheduled. An inability to lower the cranes' booms in time to create the necessary air draught for the vessel to transit safely under the Lions Gate Bridge during low tide is the reason for the delay.

When & Where:
Wednesday, April 27 during low tide, transit under Lions Gate Bridge estimated to be between 2:45pm 3:45 pm
