Jurong Shipyard signs LOI for crane vessel
Part of Heerema's fleet for several years: crane vessel Hermod, capable of a tandem lift of 8,100 t
With a vessel length of 214m and a width of 97.5m the NSCV will be among the world’s largest crane vessels. Heerema Offshore Services BV, a subsidiary of Heerema Marine Contractors Holding Nederland SE (HMC), will equip its new vessel with two cranes of 10,000 tonnes lifting capacity each. The dual cranes, designed and under construction by Huisman Equipment BV, provide heavy lifting capacity to install and remove offshore facilities. The cranes can be used for installation of subsea structures, foundations, moorings and floating structures in deep water. The NSCV will be self-propelled with a transit speed of 10 knots, with power generated by means of dual-fuel engines using marine gas oil and LNG. Station-keeping is by means of dynamic positioning (DP3) or mooring system.
