摘要

Rotterdam's Huisman has been awarded a contract for the design, engineering, construction and delivery of the main crane on Jan De Nul's newest offshore wind turbine installation vessel Voltaire. The crane will be unique in its size, capacity and novel features to allow efficient installation of the next generation offshore wind turbines. The vessel will be built by COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry in China and the Huisman crane will be built in Huisman's own production facility in Xiamen, China and installed at the shipyard. With an unrivalled crane capacity of over 3,000 tonnes and an evenly unrivalled lifting height, this jack-up vessel will be able to support the renewable energy industry to build the future wind farms at sea.
