Siemens Gamesa has ordered 58 cranes from Danish outfit Seasight Davits for turbines to be installed at Otary's 487MW Seamade offshore wind farm off the coast of Belgium.
The davit cranes have an outreach of 3.2 metres, a lifting capacity of 1 tonne and will be installed on the turbines' platforms, Seasight said.
They will be manufactured by Seasight Davits’ parent company, Hvide Sande Shipyard, Steel and Service.
The first batch is due for delivery at the start of April 2019.
Seasight said the deal is its first with Siemens Gamesa and the Danish company hopes it is the “beginning of a continuing cooperation”.
Siemens Gamesa is supplying 8.4MW hardware to the project, which is expected to deliver first power in 2020.
Otary holds a 70% majority stake in Seamade, Engie Electrabel has 17.5% and Eneco 12.5%.
