At the heart of the vessel is its advanced crane configuration, featuring a split main hook design capable of lifting 1,200 tonnes on each block, with a combined lift capacity of 1,600 tonnes. This built-in redundancy is unrivalled in the O&M jack-up market, enhancing operational safety and ensuring continuity during critical lifts. The vessel’s significantly extended leg length, compared to conventional O&M jack-ups, enables access to deeper waters and higher hub heights, futureproofing operations as turbine sizes continue to increase.
Safety and efficiency are embedded throughout the design. The stable jack-up platform minimises motion during lifting operations, while intelligent deck layouts segregate personnel and heavy lift zones to reduce risk. Rapid jacking systems, large deck space, and integrated logistics capabilities streamline project execution, reducing downtime and vessel spread.
The CM1600 sets a new benchmark for safe, efficient, and resilient offshore wind maintenance operations.
