Abstract: An apparatus and a method for remote crane control, the apparatus comprising: a memory for storing instructions; and a processing unit configured to execute the instructions stored in the memory to control the apparatus to: receive one or more images comprising a view of a location on which a crane spreader is to land; display the one or more images on a display; receive user input to mark one or more markers on the one or more received images to facilitate landing of the crane spreader; and transmit position data of the one or more markers in the one or more received images to a processor for determining values defining positioning of the crane spreader relative to the position data of the one or more markers to offset so that the crane spreader proceeds to land based on the determined values.

Abstract: A process for lashing containers with a power tool, a lashing rod (2) connectable to a container and a turnbuckle (1) connectable to a container transport vehicle. The turnbuckle comprises a first connection part (14) connectable to the lashing rod and second connection part (15) connectable to the container transport vehicle, the turnbuckle being rotatable around it's longitudinal axis (L). At least one of the connection parts comprises a tensioning part (144) for tensioning the lashing rod by adapting the overall length of the turnbuckle and lashing rod. The tensioning part is driven by a drive part (145) which is operated by a power tool. For lashing a container the turnbuckle is connected to the container transport vehicle and the lashing rod, which is connected to the container. The turnbuckle is rotated until the drive part is accessible by the power tool. Then, the drive part is driven by the power tool.
