As the demand for sustainable technology grows in the offshore heavy lift industry so does the need for cleaner, renewable features on heavy lift cranes and their accompanying vessels. Our industry remains critical to powering the global economy, and the transition to clean, more environmentally friendly practices and products represents a robust opportunity for organizations around the world.
Increasingly, customers and other stakeholders are looking at a company’s sustainability efforts when making investment, purchasing, and partnership decisions. Before signing a deal, customers want to know about a few things: green features, vendor reputation, performance, cost savings, among others. As the world calls for improvements and transparency from our industry, NOV Heavy Lift brings high lifting ca-
pacities and outreaches to the heavy lift crane market while also working to minimize the industry’s environmental footprint through improved energy efficiency, enhanced solutions for energy storage and regeneration, and innovative digital solutions. Historically, heavy lift cranes have come with high energy consumption, risk of oil leakage, high rate of energy dissipation, and real-time, onsite, hands-on monitoring and maintenance
requirements – and few options for resolving those issues. Heavy lift cranes equipped with fully electric drive systems, rather than traditionally used hydraulic systems, reduce energy consumption by around 25%, allow for energy recovery, storage, and reuse, and deliver digital solutions that increase efficiency and keep humans out of harm’s way, all without the risk of oil leaks and while maintaining capacity and better performance.
