DEME Group's latest offshore installation vessel Orion has been fitted with its new Liebherr HLC 295000 crane.
The HLC boom alone is 160 metres long and the whole crane has a height of 90 metres. Assembled on a huge pedestal the crane is going to have a lifting height of up to 180 metres – almost twice as high as the Statue of Liberty in New York. With a lifting capacity of 5,000 tonnes at more than 30 metres outreach the HLC 295000 could lift nine fully loaded A380 airplanes in one go.

The vessel was constructed at COSCO Qidong shipyard in China. At 216.5m long, it is equipped with DP3 (Dynamic Positioning) capability and can accommodate a total of 131 people. The vessel is also to be outfitted with a Walk-to-Work gangway for personnel transfers.

DEME Group will deploy the vessel for the construction of large offshore wind turbines. Orion will be suitable to transport the monopiles, jackets, wind turbine components and other structures associated with the construction of giant multi-megawatt wind turbines.
