Huisman has been awarded a contract by Vard for the delivery of a full electric 250mt Hybrid Boom Subsea Crane, and a 100mt Knuckle Boom Crane destined for integration into Toyo Construction’s latest cable-lay and construction vessel. The vessel is specially designed for the Japanese offshore wind industry.The 250mt Hybrid Boom Crane is a subsea crane concept that combines the high lifting height of a conventional lattice-type boom crane with the operational advantages of a Knuckle Boom Crane. The 100mt Knuckle Boom Crane, part of Huisman's recently launched Subsea Crane range for offshore construction vessels, is a compact subsea-rated crane. Featuring active heave compensation, this crane is designed to assist in subsea work and handle cargo across the deck. Both cranes will be manufactured at Huisman's production facility in Zhangzhou, China.
