Siem Industries has selected Huisman to deliver knuckle boom cranes for the two offshore support vessels (OSVs) it recently ordered from China.
Under the awarded contract, Huisman will supply two 400mt knuckle boom cranes with a below-deck winch, as well as two 50mt auxiliary cranes with deepwater capabilities.
The cranes will be built at Huisman's production facility in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, China.
According to the company, the 400mt knuckle boom crane has deepwater capabilities, up to 3,000m hook travel, a high lift mode for lifting large loads to high heights, as well as a lifting capacity of up to 400mt in single fall configuration.
David Roodenburg, CEO of Huisman, said: "The Siem companies and Huisman have shared a strong business relationship for decades. We greatly appreciate the continued confidence Siem places in our company and are honoured to continue our partnership through the award of this contract. We look forward to delivering cranes that will support Siem Shipping's operations and future ambitions."
The two vessels are currently under construction at Fujian Mawei Shipbuilding in Fuzhou, China. They will be 145 meters long and will have a beam of 27 meters.
Vessel delivery is scheduled for 2029 and 2030.
