Techano Oceanlift will supply a 70-tonnes capacity crane capable of performing subsea construction work and topside lifting operations. The company’s scope of work includes engineering, manufacturing and commissioning of the crane.
The 70-tonnes capacity knuckle boom crane is equipped with an active heave compensated (AHC) winch with 3,000 metre wire for subsea construction operations. The crane also features Nekkar subsidiary Intellilift's control system and motion compensating system.
In addition, the crane will be equipped with a unique detachable 3D compensated lifting tool, Safelift. This tool greatly enhances topside lifts and increase safety during lifting operations from vessel to topside installations during adverse weather conditions.
“We are pleased to see Techano Oceanlift secure yet another contract, and with a completely new customer” says Ole Falk Hansen, CEO of Nekkar ASA.
The 70-tonnes crane will be delivered July 2026 and installed at Techanos’ third-party facility in Europe.
“This crane will be an important feature in enabling the needed flexibility to perform tasks within different offshore segments such as conventional platform supply service, light construction work and renewables” says Øystein Bondevik, Business Development Director in Techano Oceanlift.
Techano Oceanlift is a specialist supplier of load-handling and lifting equipment for the renewable, aquaculture, offshore and marine industries.
