Equipment Package
Huisman has been awarded a contract by CIMC Raffles Offshore for the delivery of an integrated package.
The package comprises a 350mt A-frame, a 500mt Knuckle Boom Crane, a 20mt Auxiliary Crane, and a 2,500mt basket for the storage of flexibles, fibre ropes, and mooring chains.
The equipment package will support a wide range of offshore construction and installation activities on the next generation deepwater offshore installation vessel being built for a joint venture between Solstad Offshore and SBM Offshore.
The 350mt A-frame enables the deployment of rope from the vessel’s main winch package and incorporates the use of Huisman’s patented Active Heave Compensation technology, ensuring safe and efficient operations in challenging offshore environments.
The combination of the 500mt Knuckle Boom Crane, Auxiliary Crane and advanced A-frame system will equip the vessel with substantial lifting and handling capabilities, enabling efficient execution of offshore projects worldwide.
David Roodenburg, CEO at Huisman: “We are proud of the trust that Solstad Offshore and SBM Offshore have placed in Huisman. As our first project for their joint venture, this award marks an important milestone for us, and we are grateful to continue our successful cooperation with CIMC Raffles Offshore. By combining advanced technology with a deep understanding of offshore operations, we look forward to delivering the equipment that will enable the vessel to safely and efficiently execute a wide range of complex installation and construction activities.”
