Maersk Chela Crane Installation

Service
Design, structural calculations, fabrication and offshore installation/follow up


 

Due to lack of crane coverage on board Maersk, we were asked to come up with a solution for the installation of the new Chela crane, on the jack-up Maersk Invincible.

Føn Energy Services delivered the following services for Maersk Drilling:

  • Design of a new skidding and jacking frame for transport of the new Chela Crane from crane coverage to the cantilever. 

  • Lifting calculations for lifting of the Chela crane and design of temporary support frames, fabrication of temporary structures and method description for installation of temporary structures, method description for skidding. 

  • Skidding and jacking operations for the offshore crane installation on the cantilever.
