Huisman has been awarded a contract for the upgrade of the Offshore Mast Crane onboard the Aegir vessel, owned by Heerema.
This project will enhance the second main hoist capacity from 2000 metric tonnes to an impressive 3200 metric tonnes at a height of 110 metres, making the upgrade highly suitable for the installation of large jacket foundations.
The upgraded crane for one of the world’s largest monohull crane vessels will feature a fixed jib section and a robust 3200 metric tonnes lower block and hook, providing Heerema with the advanced lifting capabilities required to excel in their upcoming projects.
The Aegir vessel, originally equipped with a 4000 metric tonnes Offshore Mast Crane by Huisman in 2013, has been a testament to the enduring quality and adaptability of Huisman’s technical solutions. In 2020, Huisman successfully upgraded the lifting capacity of the main hoist to 5000 metric tonnes.
Huisman chief executive David Roodenburg said: “We are honoured to once again collaborate with Heerema on this milestone upgrade for the Aegir vessel. This project reaffirms our commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions to our clients, making their operations more efficient, and strengthening them in their current and future business.”
