SCHIEDAM, The Netherlands — Huisman has been awarded a contract for the upgrade of the offshore mast crane onboard the Aegir vessel, owned by Heerema.
The comapny says this project will enhance the second main hoist capacity from 2,000 mt to 3,200 mt at a height of 110 m, 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 ]3,200-mt lower block and hook, providing Heerema with the advanced lifting capabilities required to excel in its upcoming projects.
The Aegir vessel was originally equipped with a 4,000-mt offshore mast crane by Huisman in 2013. Then Huisman upgraded the lifting capacity of the main hoist to 5,000mt in 2020.
