Ulstein VerftS says that its selection process was ‘intensive’ due to the fact that it was investing around €5 million.

“We have amongst others been in negotiations with crane suppliers in Spain and the United States, but Terex could offer a good contract for a crane with the capabilities we were looking for, with a satisfactory delivery time and a competitive price.” Said purchasing manager Karsten Sævik.

The new crane is due for delivery at the end of 2009.

The deal is done: Karsten Sævik -managing director and Roar Stenersen -purchasing manager of Ulstein Verft, with Per Holm of Terex.

“When we take advantage of the new crane, we will be able to take on many more after market services. Here at home we will be able to offer more services such as the lifting, shifting and installation of equipment. By moving the crane on the barge, we will be able to assist within a number of types of heavy lifting, both in the yard and other types of activities including offshore lifts. " Håkon Langeland head of services.

The purchase contract includes installation support and training both at the Terex plant in Zweibrucken and on site in the shipyard.
