Mega-sized rigs, wind turbines, foundations, vessels and cables are often in the focus when talking about the offshore energy sector.
On November 26 and 27, Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference (OEEC) 2024 will bring together some of the most prominent names in the offshore wind, hydrogen, oil & gas, and marine energy industries at RAI Amsterdam.
Over two dynamic days of conference sessions, stage presentations, networking opportunities and industry showcases, OEEC 2024 will focus on advancing the event’s theme, “Harmony”, aimed at fostering collaboration across these critical industries.
As a multi-industry event, OEEC is uniquely positioned to drive cross-sector engagement, promoting cooperation between public and private stakeholders.
Three exhibitors have announced new developments and projects since we saw them on the exhibition floor in November last year.
These innovations reflect the ongoing evolution of technology in the offshore energy sector, setting the stage for OEEC 2024 to be a must-attend event for industry professionals.
Mammoet launches world’s biggest land-based crane
On August 30, Mammoet launched the SK6000 ring crane, said to be the world’s strongest land-based crane, at its Westdorpe facility in the Netherlands.
The new crane has a maximum capacity of 6,000 tonnes and is capable of lifting components of up to 3,000 tonnes to a height of 220 metres.
“This is a thrilling new chapter for Mammoet and modular construction in heavy industry, as we see the SK6000 taking shape,” said Koen Brouwers, project manager for the SK6000.
Breman unveils new chain crane for offshore wind turbines
The Breman Group has presented a new high-speed, chain-driven davit crane combined with a self-engaging crane hook.
Officially unveiled to the wider public on August 24, the new chain crane has a standard lifting capacity of 1 tonne at a radius of 3.5 metres and a standard lifting height of up to 30 metres. A version with a lifting capacity of 3 tonnes is also available on request, the company says.
PASSER reports demand for increasingly larger equipment
Back in February, we paid a visit to PASSER’s new workshop in Klaipeda, Lithuania, where one of the company’s vertical lay-up machines (VLM) was being built. The VLM is now in JDR Cable Systems’ new factory in Blyth, UK, and will be used to produce large subsea cables for offshore wind farms.
PASSER recently revealed it was also looking at much larger carousels for cable manufacturing plants as the offshore energy industry is in the market for them.
