Crane Type50t Active Heave Compensation (AHC)

This overhaul of Haean crane on a diving support vessel is equipped with a 50 ton Active Heave Compensation Offshore Crane.

During a routine slewing bearing assessment carried out by certified Alatas Offshore Crane Engineers, large cracks were detected in the welding seams of the slewing bearing flange at the base column.

The location and the depth of the cracks did not allow for in-situ repairs, but the entire base column had to be removed and shifted into Alatas workshop for the flange repair.

This work necessitated the removal of the crane and later reinstallation and commissioning. Alatas provided project management, engineering, personnel, workshop facilities, and carried out the following tasks on a turnkey basis.
