New 4,000 tonne crane for Heerema

Heerema Offshore Services has commissioned Huisman to design, construct and install a 4,000mt revolving offshore mast crane and a pipelay tower for both J-lay and Reel-lay operations in ultra deep water. The crane will be installed on Heerema’s new Deep Water Construction Vessel.

The new vessel and crane due for launch in 2013

The mast crane design was selected for this vessel because of its small footprint and low construction weight. The crane will be constructed at the Huisman facility in China and installed onboard the vessel at the DSME yard in South Korea in 2012.

Additional equipment to be delivered by Huisman includes moveable pipe reels, PLET handling, A&R winches and a heave compensated deep water lowering system. All pipelay equipment will be constructed and installed at Huisman Schiedam in the Netherlands, where the vessel will arrive around December 2012.
