In order to provide reliable solutions for subsea installation in increasingly deeper water and severe weather conditions, Huisman has developed a full range of Subsea Cranes. This range is based on the extensive experience gained with the deep water Offshore Mast Cranes, used in the same application.
Building on an extensive track record in delivery of heavy lift offshore cranes with deep and ultra-deep water subsea construction capabilities, Huisman has developed a novel, patented crane type: the Hybrid Boom Crane, previously known as the Rope Luffing Knuckle Boom Crane. This crane design maintains the advantage of the knuckle boom functionality, which is essential for offshore construction activities, without the disadvantages of conventional knuckle boom cranes, such as the heavy boom that affects the crane load curves and impacts ship stability. The design also provides advantages in workability.

The Huisman Knuckle Boom Crane (KBC) design is suitable for various applications, including offshore construction work and subsea installation. It is designed to increase safety during deck handling, ship-to-ship transfer and subsea installation, using precise load control. Huisman has experience in designing and building KBCs with the capacity to lift up to 250mt in water depths up to 2,500m. In addition we are constantly exploring new and heavier means of application.
