NOV Secures Order For Industry’s First Electric Subsea Crane
By the end of last year, NOV’s Lifting & Handling group reportedly sold the first-ever electric subsea crane in the industry to a firm based in Europe. Such a huge accomplishment is not merely a win for NOV but reflects the industry’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of efficiency and innovation in offshore operations.
The brand-new electric submarine crane has several benefits. Vessel emissions are decreased by its higher efficiency when compared to electro-hydraulic cranes. Potential energy from the loads lowered to the ocean floor can be recovered through the novel design, enabling onboard use/storage.
Besides, the electric system also eliminates heavy reliance on hydraulic fluid for most of its components, lowering the risks of spills, making them quieter, and reducing the overall environmental impact. The features also align with the growing emphasis on sustainability and responsible and authentic resource management.
The design of the crane boasts proven tech where advantageous. Due to its benefits, hydraulic technology will continue to be used for luffing cylinders; NOV has also leveraged an advanced electric motor system for enhanced control and precision. The approach boasts operational smoothness, minimizes downtime, and empowers the reliability of the crane. The unique modular design and top-notch components also help ease maintenance, leading to lower operating costs.
As the industry evolves, NOV stays ahead of its competitors, driving progress and setting the stage for the next generation of offshore capabilities.
