Huisman Equipment has been awarded a contract for the upgrade of the Offshore Mast Crane onboard Heerema’s crane vessel Aegir. This upgrade will enhance the second main hoist capacity from 2,000mt to 3,200mt at a height of 110 meters.
The upgraded crane for one of the world’s largest monohull crane vessels will feature a fixed jib section and a robust 3,200mt lower block and hook, providing Heerema with the advanced lifting capabilities suitable for the installation of large jacket foundations.
The Aegir vessel was originally also equipped with a 4,000mt Offshore Mast Crane by Huisman in 2013. In 2020, Huisman successfully upgraded the lifting capacity of the main hoist to 5,000mt.
“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.”
David Roodenburg, CEO of Huisman
