There are currently three cranes working on the jetty: a red crane, a large red crane, and a crane with white crane mast. Each crane has its own stone transport barge. The transport barge is roped to the crane barge and both are moved together. Each pair of barges (crane & transport) is moved between the jetty and the stone loading area on the beach by two tug boats. The cranes off load their stone cargo onto the top of jetty where the excavators move them blocks into their final position.
This is the larger of the two red mast cranes. It has a wider base and treads, and a large
counter-weight on the rear. It is use amongst others jobs to lift the excavators on and off
the barges onto the jetty.
