The Netherlands: Kenz Delivers Crane for Chevron’s Captain Platform

The Netherlands - Kenz Delivers Crane for Chevron's Captain Platform

On Saturday July 28th, Kenz Cranes, well-known specialist in offshore lifting and hoisting solutions, successfully delivered the new build 30t rope luffing offshore pedestal crane.

After final load testing, the Kenz crane has been transported and will be installed onto the Chevron Captain platform in the North Sea.

The 30t offshore pedestal crane is custom-designed for the Chevron Captain BLP platform. The Captain platform will undergo a life expectancy extension and therefore the new Kenz crane will replace the existing crane on the platform. The installation and load testing of the crane took place at the Kenz Figee Group construction quay in Zaandam. On Friday July 20th the crane has been transported to the Ter Haak terminal in Amsterdam. There, the crane has been seafastened onto Saipem’s “UR-98/UR-99” barge, after which the Kenz crane has been transported and will be installed onto the Captain platform.
