The Challenge
Provide load testing for the world’s largest crane vessel
The world’s largest crane vessel is 220 meters long, can lift 20,000 metric tonnes and has enough room on board to accommodate 400 crew.
This record-breaking vessel needs vast amounts of power to operate, and twelve 8 MW generators are responsible for firing the ship and its many working parts – but these generators have to be stress-tested before the ship can lift anchor and leave dock.
The sheer scale of this ship demanded a partner who had the scope to help in a big way, and mobilize quickly.
