MacGregor to Deliver 100T AHC Crane for Dive Support Vessel

MacGregor, part of Cargotec, has been awarded a contract to supply a state-of-the-art 100-ton active heave compensation (AHC) crane for a Dive Support Vessel (DSV) owned by Jana Marine Service Company, a leading marine services provider in the Middle East. The crane will enhance the vessel’s capabilities in supporting complex subsea operations.

MacGregor, part of Cargotec, has been awarded a contract to deliver a 100T AHC crane for a Dive Support Vessel owned by Jana Marine Service Company.

The contract, which was booked in the fourth quarter 2024, is not reported as part of Cargotec’s orders received, as MacGregor is reported as part of discontinued operations. The crane delivery to the Guangzhou Salvage shipyard is scheduled in the second quarter 2026, with vessel delivery later that year.

MacGregor’s local sales team will work in close cooperation with Guangzhou Salvage throughout the project to ensure the crane’s seamless integration into the vessel and optimise its performance.

The customer chose MacGregor due to its satisfaction with a previous delivery of a similar crane, citing its high performance and lightweight.

“Timely delivery, reliability and innovation are core capabilities for us and qualities that we also seek from suppliers,” said Tang Renjian, Guangzhou Salvage Bureau Company. “We look forward to working with MacGregor again on the successful completion of a highly significant project for our yard”.

“We are delighted to have been awarded this contract,” said Pasi Lehtonen, Senior Vice President, Offshore Solutions, MacGregor. “Our 100T AHC crane is a proven solution that offers superior performance and reliability. We are confident that it will meet the customer’s needs and exceed its expectations.”
