General – Leg Encircling Crane
Huisman has been awarded a contract from Hanwha Ocean for the design and construction of a 2,600mt Leg Encircling Crane (LEC).
Hanwha Ocean, formerly known as Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) is one of the largest shipbuilding companies in South Korea.
This third contract award follows the orders for two identical 2,600mt Leg Encircling Cranes, destined for the wind turbine installation vessels being built by Hanwha Ocean for Cadeler.
This crane is intended for an NG-16000X platform. With this, all four platforms of this type in the market will be equipped with a Huisman LEC.
The scope of work for Huisman includes the design, engineering and construction of the LEC at its production facility in Zhangzhou, China. The crane will be commissioned in 2027 at Hanwha Ocean’s shipyard in Geoje, South Korea.
