The contract will include the installation of the cranes with a patented active heave compensation system, known as Active Heave Compensation . This system connects directly to the vessel’s electrical grid, ensuring efficient interaction with the onboard electrical energy storage system. This innovative approach allows for a significant reduction in energy consumption during offshore lifting operations, a critical feature for new offshore constructions .
We are witnessing an increasing demand for high-quality equipment in the offshore vessel industry, especially those with low-energy technology. Huisman’s active heave compensation solutions are designed to meet these needs, and we are pleased with the trust that Sea1 Offshore and COSCO have placed in us.
