Palfinger will equip four new service vessels for Edda Wind, Ostensjo Groups’ offshore wind segment, with lifting solutions as well as lifesaving appliances.
Its Iberica office secured the deal, which includes 10 foldable knuckle boom cranes, four lifeboats and eight davits.
Edda’s two commissioning service operation vessels (CSOV) are being constructed at Gondan Shipbuilders on Spain’s northern coast. Each of them will be fitted with a PK15500M and a PK33002M crane.
Two slightly smaller service operation vessels (SOV), awarded to the nearby Balenciaga Shipyard, will be equipped with two PK15500M cranes and one PK33002M crane each.
Palfinger will also deliver lifesaving appliances to all four new Edda Wind vessels. While each SOV will be fitted with two liferaft davits, each CSOV will be provided with two totally enclosed lifeboats with accompanying davits in addition to two liferaft davits.
Palfinger marine solutions business development manager Rubén Alonso Corcuera said: “We are delighted that we were awarded with this exciting project by Ostensjo, Gondan and Balenciaga, who we have been working with for many years.
“Aside from the high-quality standard we offer, it was indeed these strong partnerships built on trust and experience that led to winning these contracts.”
