The Harbour Office is delighted to advise that the Crane has been fixed and is ready for use.

A special note of thanks goes to Alex Osborne and Derek Oakman from Alderney Electricity Ltd who were instrumental in the electrical fix and their assistance with the on-call Dutch Engineers and the Harbour Office.

Captain John Taylor, Harbour Master said 'we would like to thank all those involved with this on island and speedy resolution. Also to the island's business and residents for their patience, co-operation and understanding during this anxious and demanding period.
