A new Goliath gantry crane that will increase yard lifting capacity from 350t to 800t and enable two topside projects to be worked on in parallel is among the big-ticket items in Kvaerner’s planned NKr250 million upgrade of its Stord facilities in Norway. The crane will be ready for operation early 2014, in time for the major lifts for the Edvard Grieg project (see ‘Contracts’). The yard’s existing Goliath crane is being upgraded and recertified for an additional two years so that it can be used in the assembly phase of the Eldfisk 2/7S project.
