Palfinger wins Johan Sverdrup crane order
The cranes will have a lifting capacity of 60 tons, an outreach of roughly 60 m (197 ft), and will be equipped with full-electric drive.
This feature should improve energy efficiency and lead to reduced
maintenance, Palfinger claims, adding that the total lifecycle cost of
electric cranes is lower than conventional electro-hydraulic solutions.

PALFINGER
DREGGEN has been awarded contract for crane delivery to the Johan Sverdrup
field with a total order value of approximately MNOK 285. The prestigious
delivery includes seven large offshore cranes and the contract was signed
with Statoil in May, in strong competition with other international crane
suppliers.
“The order represents an important milestone for PALFINGER DREGGEN. It
confirms the strategic decisions by our investment in new production
facilities and our systematic strengthening of in-house competence in
Norway for development of cranes to complex offshore projects” says
managing director Halldor Rongve.
The products covered by the contract are developed by PALFINGER DREGGEN.
Being part of the Marine Division of PALFINGER AG, the company has grown
extensively over the last few years establishing own production facilities
and engineering hubs worldwide. “The Johan Sverdrup contract will be a
very important contribution for the activity at our Bergen office as well
as impacting the activity of the entire organization. Engineering, project
management and procurement will mainly be performed in Bergen and most of
the production will take place at PALFINGER DREGGEN’s own factories in
Poland and South Korea”, says Halldor Rongve.
