Huisman has signed a contract with PaxOcean Engineering for the delivery of a 1,600mt Leg Encircling Crane.
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. Also, key systems will consist of Japan-made components to increase ease of maintenance.
Recently Penta-Ocean Construction and DEME Offshore concluded a memorandum of understanding (MOU) regarding comprehensive cooperation for the construction of offshore wind farms in Japan.
