Huisman has completed the load testing of the new build 600mt pedestal crane onboard wind turbine installation vessel “MPI Resolution”.
The load test was the final step before the crane was handed over to the clients Centrica Renewable Energy Ltd and MPI Offshore Limited. The 600mt Pedestal Crane is custom-designed for the installation of offshore wind turbines. The crane combines technical features, such as a full electric variable frequency drive system, a low overall construction weight and a small minimum operating radius. Furthermore all the major equipment, such as hoist winches, is installed inside the enclosed crane house. Huisman has scheduled to deliver a second 600mt pedestal crane for another client in the fourth quarter of this year.
