Three-axis motion compensated crane
MacGregor’s three-axis motion compensated offshore crane has won the Offshore Support Journal’s (OSJ) Innovation of the Year award. The award is given for a product, system or service which is judged to have made the most significant impact on the design, build and/or operational aspects of offshore support vessels.
This crane is a first-of-its-kind, not just for MacGregor, but for the offshore industry as a whole. MacGregor was approached by Siem Offshore to develop an innovative type of crane for its newbuild infield support vessel Siem Moxie. The crane will be delivered to Siem Offshore in March 2014.
The vessel will operate in the offshore renewable energy markets, carrying out installations, repairs, maintenance and general service duties. One specific task for Siem Moxie will be to transfer containers of tools and equipment to the top of offshore windmill foundations.
