Huisman has been awarded a contract by Siem Industries for the delivery of 400mt Knuckle Boom Cranes and 50mt Knuckle Boom Cranes for two newbuild Offshore Support Vessels, currently under construction at Fujian Mawei Shipbuilding in Fuzhou, China.

The cranes will be built at Huisman’s production facility in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, China.

The scope of supply includes two 400mt Knuckle Boom Cranes with a below-deck winch, as well as two 50mt auxiliary cranes with deepwater capabilities.
