The vessel is equipped with advanced operation and maintenance systems, as well as sustainable technologies, such as efficient energy management and solar energy storage , ensuring environmentally friendly operations.
Meanwhile, the Sanhang Xiang’an , with a lifting capacity of 5,000 tons, is the largest luffing derrick crane in China. This vessel is equipped with a dual positioning system, integrating both DP1 dynamic positioning and mooring system, ensuring autonomous navigation and stable positioning in challenging sea conditions.
This floating crane is ideal for large-scale projects such as the installation of steel structures and offshore oil modules, in addition to its role in the construction of wind energy facilities. With a lifting height of 133 metres, the crane is optimised for the development of sustainable offshore energy infrastructure, and its innovative design allows it to operate in the most demanding environments.
The company reaffirms its commitment to technological innovation and sustainability in shipbuilding. With the delivery of these two floating cranes, Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries seeks to enhance its capabilities in large-scale maritime projects and contribute to the advancement of the global marine economy. These vessels, designed to meet the highest environmental standards, represent a step forward in the transition towards a greener and more efficient shipbuilding industry.
