KenzFigee has won a contract to replace the offshore deck crane on the wind installation vessel Wind Orca.
Cadeler has awarded KenzFigee this contract based on its decision to replace the current offshore deck crane on its O-class self-elevating wind farm installation vessel in preparation for the changing offshore wind market demands, said KenzFigee.
KenzFigee will deliver the compact and robust designed electric hydraulic driven Ram Luffing crane with a lifting capacity of 25 tonnes for installation in late 2021.
After testing and commissioning the Ram Luffing crane will be operational early 2022 and ready for its first assignment on board of the ‘Wind Orca’ as a further improvement of the vessel’s versatility and efficiency.
The KenzFigee Ram Luffing crane is a box boom type with an installed base of more than 50 cranes worldwide.
The limited number of moving parts makes this crane “highly reliable and the ideal low maintenance crane” for harsh offshore environments.
“KenzFigee is honored to be selected by Cadeler to supply this crane on one of their O-class vessels and contribute to its strategic decision to solidify their position as key supplier within the offshore wind industry.
“We will support Cadeler during this project and beyond to make sure this project is the first of many to come”, said KenzFigee CEO Jan-Pieter Klaver.
