Protea has completed the manufacture of a comprehensive crane package for an FSO (floating, storage, and offloading) that will be chartered by Total for operation at the Martin Linge offshore development.
Comprising of two deck cranes, a 10-tonne SWL turret service crane and a 5-tonne knuckle boom crane, and a 15-tonne SWL offshore knuckle boom for cargo loading and offloading operations, the cranes recently completed their factory acceptance tests at Protea’s production facility in Kluczbork, southern Poland.
“We have worked closely with our strategic partner ‘Westcon Lofteteknikk AS’ and their client Knutsen NYK Offshore Tankers to develop and deliver a turnkey crane package for the FSO conversion,” said Graham Manning, Protea global sales manager. “By configuring our proven Proteus design to meet their specific requirements, we were able to provide a crane package that was both technically and commercially attractive.”
Designed and certified in accordance with EN 13852-1:2013, DNV LA 2.22:2013 and Norsok Standards, each crane features 360 degree slewing, high performance lifting capabilities and is built to the highest standards of quality and safety.
Following completion of extensive testing at Protea’s manufacturing facility, the cranes will be delivered to the Remontowa Shipyard in Poland where they will be installed by Protea’s commissioning team.
