A technologically advanced new hoist for the expanded apron at East Cowes UK is now in operation.  The 10m wide hoist dock and crane is suitable for transporting both blades for wind turbines as required by Isle of Wight based Vesta Blades (UK) Ltd, and large yachts of up to 70 tons between the quayside and the water.  The hoist marks the latest stage in plans for extended facilities at the Cowes Waterfront - Venture Quays site, which is owned by the South East England development Agency (SEEDA).
