Greenock Container Port
Greenock container port in 1988. At the time the port was closed. The cranes were idle and the straddle carriers, which had carried the containers to the Freightliner sidings, were parked up and rusting (just out of shot). Freightliner closed their depot officially two years before in 1986. This had been the site of Greenock Princes Pier and the Albert Harbour. The Freightliner terminal was located at a higher level off to the right beyond Brougham Street, the former railway bridge being retained for access.
