Vessel Cranes Ordered for Nautilus Vessel
An order for cranes to be used on Nautilus Minerals Inc.’s production support vessel has been awarded to MacGregor, headquarter in Kristiansand, Norway.
The contract marks the third major long lead time equipment package to be awarded by the shipyard, Fujian Mawei Shipbuilding Limited.
Nautilus' CEO Mike Johnston commented, "We are very pleased to have such a world class supplier providing key equipment for use on our Production Support Vessel. The cranes are an essential component in ensuring operations can be performed safely across all of our large working deck areas. The 2,500m depth rated heave compensated main crane also provides critical lifting support to our subsea operations at the mine-site. We look forward to reporting on the progress of this equipment as we move closer to production in 2018."
