Huisman has announced the signing of a contract with Cadeler for the design and production of a monopile gripper. The monopile gripper, having a 13-meter diameter, is engineered for the installation of monopiles ranging from 80 to 120 meters in length, with a weight of up to 3,000mt.
The gripper can be entirely stored on deck. The contract also includes an option for the integration of a noise mitigation system, designed to minimise the impact of noises on sea life. Production of the Monopile Gripper will take place at Huisman’s production facility in China.
