NOV has been contracted by Cadeler to upgrade the vessel Wind Osprey with a new crane
The company is also contracted to supply a new crane for another vessel owned by the company, Wind Orca. That contract included an option to replace the main crane of Wind Osprey, an option that has now been exercised.
The heavy lift crane for Wind Osprey has the same specifications as it’s the unit for Wind Orca. With a lifting capacity of 1,600 tonnes at a radius of 40 m, with the hook 159 m above the main deck, the new crane is significantly more capable than the 1,200-tonne, 31-m radius crane on Wind Osprey. That crane was also supplied by NOV.
NOV sales and business development manager Gerben Roks said, “We are grateful that Cadeler has entrusted us with this project. Wind Orca and Wind Osprey had a NOV heavy lift crane from start and we are pleased they will continue to have one.”
The crane on Wind Osprey is due to be replaced starting in Q4 2023. The project, which will be undertaken in conjunction with the project on Wind Orca, is scheduled for completion in Q1 2024.
