Third Seaonics motion-compensated crane for Norwegian offshore wind owner
Seaonics has secured a new contract with Norwegian shipowner Norside Wind AS to supply an ECMC C25 3D motion-compensated crane for the Commissioning Service Operation Vessel (CSOV) Norside Cygnus.
The crane will be installed and commissioned at Fjellstrand Verft shipyard during the CSOV’s scheduled yard stay, with sea trials planned just two months after contract signing.
The award marks the third C25 3D unit Seaonics will deliver to Norside Wind. Earlier C25 3D cranes were installed on Norside Cetus and Norside Supporter. The latter vessel originally featured a 50-tonne AHC crane from Seaonics, which was replaced with a C25 3D model in a 2025 retrofit.
Seaonics said the short delivery window is enabled by its serial production set-up for the C25 3D platform and close project coordination with the owner.
ECMC C25 3D Crane
The Seaonics Electric Controlled Motion Compensated C25 3D Crane is designed for safe and efficient offshore lifting operations and includes:
- 3D motion-compensation technology.
- Electric drive system for reduced energy consumption.
- High-precision lifting and load control.
- Integrated control system for smooth and accurate movements.
- 5T@25M / 7T@22M in 3D Motion Compensation Mode.
- 10T@20M / 15T@16M in Harbor Mode (2-fall)
This delivery marks Seaonics’ 19th ECMC C25 crane and the 24th 3D compensated crane delivered to date.
