Seatrium awards crane contract to Norway's Motus

The crane will be for Equinor’s Empire Wind 1 Offshore Substation.

Seatrium has awarded Norway’s Motus Technology the contract to engineer, design, and construct the main platform crane for Equinor’s Empire Wind 1 Offshore Substation.

Motus will deliver the crane to Seatrium’s yard before the installation of the offshore substation 20 miles south of Long Island.

Operated by Equinor, the project will power hundreds of thousands of homes in New York and contribute to the US’ decarbonisation goals.

Motus Technology will deliver a self-contained electric-hydraulic offshore crane which can lift five tonnes at 30 metres. 

The project will comply with the US Statutory Laws and regulations for inspection, installation, and operation in offshore US Federal areas.
