This project relating to a NOV boom cylinder replacement was for a subsea construction vessel equipped with a 250 ton main OC4475KSCE-(50-250) Active Heave Compensated Offshore crane.

The luffing cylinders on the main boom were leaking and had to be removed, overhauled ashore and reinstalled. As this is a substantial job, the owners issued a crane repair tender which was awarded to Alatas Singapore Pte Ltd, as we could deliver the shortest repair times.

Alatas carried out the project engineering work, supplied crane engineers as well as mobilising the labour and rigging equipment to carry out the following work.
