In fact Waikato Cranes won Crane Project of the Year through their efforts at sea with container recovery. But on shore over the last few months we have had the opportunity to lend a hand to Braemar Howells in the off loading of containers they have recovered from the sea floor. This has been great for the team having a chance to participate in helping return our environment back to pre-Rena conditions. Braemar Howells also operate at very high Heath, Safety and Environment levels so for our team who have a strong Health and Safety culture this has been excellent and we have really enjoyed being part of the team.
