Mammoet has completed the assembly of its PTC210-DS ring crane, one of the largest in its fleet, in Rotterdam (The Netherlands) for a heavy-lift project for GustoMSC.
The 210,000tm crane, which has a maximum lift capacity of 3,200t, will be used to perform crane replacements on two offshore wind installation jack-up vessels (Wind Orca and Wind Osprey) for the shipping and offshore wind construction company Cadeler. The PTC210-DS will be used to remove the existing leg cranes from both jack-up vessels and replace them with new GustoMSC high-capacity ones. The new leg cranes are fully electric driven and have a 1,600t lifting capacity. GustoMSC has been contracted by Cadeler to design, fabricate, deliver, and install the cranes. The replacement work on Wind Orca and Wind Osprey is scheduled to commence in Q3/2023 and is expected to be completed by Q1/2024.
