In 1981, the first joint Huisman and ITREC project, the design and construction of the 1,600mt Sheerleg ‘Taklift 4’ for Boskalis Offshore, became a huge success. The design included a unique ‘ocean-passage’ configuration. The crane was retrofitted and upgraded to a lifting capacity of 2,200mt in 2010. Since that first success, several Sheerleg orders with capacities up to 4,000mt have been awarded to our company such as Scaldis’ Rambiz and the Taklift 8 and 9.
