  The big lift of the steelworks associated with the replacement of berth number six at the Eastern Docks appears to be underway this morning. Should make for some interesting views as the two floating cranes transport the ramps across the harbour from the Western to the Eastern docks. Another big investment in the port's future.

  Already making steady progress across the harbour, despite the poor visibility.

  Another angle on the big lift. Patrol launch keeping a watchful eye - there's actually someone taking a swim closer inshore!
