Kenz Cranes recently unveiled a new design for an advanced and multifunctional offshore gangway construction with an X-wing foundation. The design of the fully motion compensated gangway will be used for personnel transfer to wind turbines. The X-wing allows to keep maximum deck space on a vessel and brings an advantage for existing vessels in case of replacement, the company said. Because of this appliance a 360⁰ reach can be realized.The DNV GL-certified gangway can also be used for full motion compensated offshore lifts with crane hook attachment.
Kenz Figee has a new owner/shareholder: MeeMaken BV. MeeMaken BV is an active participation company with a large worldwide network and a strong portfolio comprising service companies to the offshore energy business. The former senior management at Mammoet, Roderik van Seumeren and Natasja Sesink will be the new owners of Kenz Figee as partners of MeeMaken BV. Kenz Figee stated that they are very happy with this takeover not only because of the long term vision of MeeMaken BV but also because they believe in the synergy with the other companies within the group. Robert de Rijcke, Commercial Director of Kenz Figee Group: “We believe that MeeMaken BV can lift us to the next professional level.
Kenz Cranes have been awarded with a contract for the design and production of two knuckle boom cranes for Heerema Marine Contractors. These will be replacing the current knuckle boom cranes on the deepwater construction vessel Aegir. Kenz Cranes will design a 200t active heave compensated knuckle boom crane with a deep water winch suitable for 3300 mtr water depth and an outreach of 50 mtr! The other knuckle boom is a 50t crane with an outreach of 42 mtr.
Kenz is in charge of the engineering and manufacturing of two telescopic gangways used in the nearby future by the Saudi Arabian Oil Company. These gangways will be two identical electric hydraulic driven: 15-25/1800 OS gangways and will be ready by the end of this year.
