Netherlands-based crane manufacturer, Huisman, has won a third order for a large knuckle boom crane from an offshore energy customer. The 550-tonne crane will be equipped with the company’s proprietary secondary-controlled Active Heave Compensation System with the latest technology developed for load control in offshore environments and energy management.
The crane’s boom is optimised for operation on a pipelay vessel. It has a maximum reach of 54m.
The latest contract is the third such order announced this year. It comes soon after Huisman’s introduction of a new range of knuckle boom cranes which include the potential for full electric active heave compensation. This feature uses patented technology to store energy in the vessel’s spinning reserve energy storage system, improving both efficiency and sustainability, the company said.
Huisman’s scope of work includes the complete range of engineering, production, installation, and testing, with a turnkey delivery from its facility in Schiedam, the Netherlands.
