Huisman is about to deliver the first crane built and tested at their production facility in Navegantes, Santa Catarina state, in the south of Brazil.
The 50 mt (Deck) Knuckle Boom Crane is the first of an order of two for DOF/Technip’s Skandi Olinda and Skandi Recife that are currently being built at Brazilian shipyard VARD Promar. The cranes are completely manufactured and tested at Huisman Brazil.
Huisman Brazil will also deliver two 50 mt Subsea Knuckle Boom Cranes and two 2500 mt flex-pipe storage baskets for the same DOF/Technip vessels. Huisman's headquarters in the Netherlands will deliver the two 340 mt VLS pipelay systems.
Huisman Brazil
Huisman Brazil was officially opened in April 2015 as the fourth Huisman production facility and is used for the manufacturing of offshore equipment for the Brazilian market. It is located along the Itajai-Açu river.
Last month, Huisman Brazil was awarded with a new order by Oceana Shipyard (part of CBO group) for the delivery of two additional anchor handling and towing winch packages for two new Havyard 843 AHTS vessels. These two winch packages are additional to the CBO order for four anchor handling and towing winch packages awarded in 2015. The first set of this order has been built in Huisman’s facility Brazil as well and delivered to CBO in November 2016.
