Huisman has been awarded a contract by COSCO Shipping (Qidong) Offshore Co. Ltd., (COSCO) for the delivery of two Leg Encircling Cranes as well as two Auxiliary Cranes for Cadeler's next-generation T-Class offshore wind installation vessels.
Featuring an improved load curve, these Leg Encircling Cranes are specifically
designed to enhance the vessels’ lifting capabilities and operational flexibility,
supporting the installation of increasingly complex offshore wind projects.
The auxiliary cranes will support a broad range of lifting and handling activities,
contributing to safe, efficient and productive offshore operations.
Manufactured at Huisman's production facility in Zhangzhou, China, the cranes will
be installed onboard Cadeler's new vessels being built by COSCO in Qidong. The
next-generation T-class vessels are designed to support the continued growth of the
offshore wind industry, offering the capability and capacity required to install larger
foundations and turbines.
David Roodenburg, CEO at Huisman said: "We greatly value the continued trust
Cadeler places in Huisman's crane delivery capabilities and are pleased to support
their ambitious growth journey. These next-generation cranes are designed to safely
and reliably lift and install the largest monopiles, supporting predictable and efficient
offshore wind installation operations."
