In what is Liebherr's 1st direct sale of offshore cranes in Azerbaijan, 4 new cranes of the BOS-series will be installed next year on 2 offshore platforms in the Caspian Sea.
The Umid Babek Operating Company is responsible for oil and gas exploration and production at the high-pressure Umid gas-condensate field and Babek prospective structure in the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea.
The crane order from Liebherr includes 2 BOS 2600 with a maximum lifting capacity of 45 tonnes at 30 m onboard as well as 2 BOS 4200, lifting 50 tonnes at 40 m onboard.
Stefan Schneider, Liebherr's Head of Sales for General Purpose Offshore Cranes, says: "UBOC chose Liebherr and the BOS-series to combine several advantages for their platforms, including the proven crane design with a wide range of features. Also, our local service station in Azerbaijan enables a very flexible customer service on-site. Our technicians can be on the platform within 24 hours."
Both the BOS 2600 as well as the 4200 have a lattice boom with a maximum working outreach of 48 m at the main hoist and 53 m at the auxiliary hoist. The cranes are powered electro-hydraulically and are equipped with Liebherr Litronic, the company’s in-house developed control system which is the centerpiece for precise crane operations.
The 4 BOS cranes will be delivered to UBOC in 2021 from the Liebherr production site in Rostock, Germany.
