Huisman, a specialist in lifting, drilling and subsea solutions, secured a contract from Japan Marine United Corp. for the delivery of one 800-tonne pedestal mounted crane (PMC) and a contract from Jurong Shipyard for the delivery of one 100-tonne pedestal mounted offshore crane (PMOC). Both cranes will be built at Huisman China, the delivery of the 800-tonne PMC is planned for April 2018, and the delivery of the 100-tonne PMOC is planned for March 2018.
The 800-tonne PMC will be used for the installation of offshore wind turbines. The light weight crane is equipped with three optional reeving set-ups to optimize the hoisting of lighter loads and makes use of a custom electric drive system of which the components are made in Japan by Yaskawa. It is further characterized by its small tail swing (optimizing free deck space), and the fact that all drivers are installed inside the enclosed crane house. The crane will be installed onboard a new build vessel for Penta-Ocean Construction, while GustoMSC is responsible for the vessel design.
The 100-tonne PMOC will be installed onboard Heerema’s new generation semisubmersible crane vessel Sleipnir. The crane will function as auxiliary crane for the two 10,000-tonne tub cranes onboard, which are also designed and constructed by Huisman. The high spec crane features the typical Huisman enclosed crane house design for reduced maintenance, high speeds and extensive integration with the vessel systems and the Huisman 10,000-tonne tub cranes onboard.
