Offshore Mast Crane (OMC)

Offshore Mast Cranes are specialized lifting solutions designed for marine construction and installation tasks. The Huisman Offshore Mast Crane (OMC) is a versatile and compact heavy lift crane that utilizes advanced technology to achieve a lifting capacity of up to 8,000 metric tons. This crane is ideal for integration on offshore construction vessels or semi-submersible platforms, offering a small rectangular footprint that simplifies installation directly on the stern, thereby reducing the vessel’s integration costs. The lightweight construction of the OMC, made from high-tensile steel, eliminates the need for ballast, contributing to its efficiency. The crane’s superior load curve, especially at larger radii, is achieved through the height of its mast, providing a large effective outreach. Additionally, the OMC includes a deepwater hoist system capable of handling up to 300 metric tons with a single line capacity, and it can be outfitted with an ultra-deepwater hoist system for operations in ultra-deepwater environments. This crane also supports optional active and passive heave compensation systems and stinger suspension from the mast base, enhancing its operational flexibility and performance.
