Norwegian crane specialist Motus Technology has been awarded a contract by Seatrium to design and build the platform main crane for the Empire Wind 1 offshore substation. The crane, designed to lift 5 tonnes at a height of 30 metres, will be delivered to Seatrium’s Singapore shipyard and then installed in Long Island. The crane will comply with U.S. statutory laws and regulations for inspection, installation and operation in U.S. federal offshore areas. The 810-megawatt offshore wind project will power hundreds of thousands of New York homes and contribute to America’s energy transition goals for a low-carbon future.
