Leg encircling crane order
Netherlands-headquartered crane builder Huisman has signed a contract with PaxOcean Engineering for the delivery of a 1,600mt Leg Encircling Crane for service in the offshore wind industry.
The crane will be installed on Penta-Ocean Construction Co.’s new self-elevated platform. With this Huisman crane the new SEP will be capable of installing 12MW wind turbines and various foundations including monopiles. The SEP will be built by PaxOcean Engineering in Batam, Indonesia. The Huisman crane will be built in Huisman’s wholly owned production facility in Xiamen, P.R. of China. Delivery of the SEP is scheduled in 2022.
After successful delivery of the 800mt crane for Penta-Ocean’s CP8001 in 2018, Huisman was selected as partner for the development of a second crane for Penta-Ocean. The 1,600mt crane will be the third wind turbine installation crane that Huisman delivers in Japan. It will provide Penta-Ocean Construction with a capable and cost-effective tool for installation of wind turbine generators and foundations in Japan.
The Huisman 1,600mt Leg Encircling Crane will be certified by Japanese certification society ClassNK.
