Seatrium Limited has secured a contract with Penta-Ocean Construction ( POC ), Japan’s leading marine construction company, to design, procure and build a heavy-lift vessel equipped with a 5,000-tonne jib crane.
The fifth heavy-lift ship in a growing fleet
The new vessel will join POC’s fleet as its largest and most advanced vessel. This strategic step will enable POC to tackle larger offshore projects and strengthen its leadership in renewable energy. Currently, its fleet includes self-propelled dredgers and installation vessels with lifting capacities of up to 1,600 tons.
For Seatrium , this contract represents its first foray into the Japanese offshore wind energy market. Seatrium Energy (International) Executive Vice President William Gu expressed his enthusiasm for this collaboration, highlighting the company’s commitment to innovative and sustainable solutions that promote decarbonisation.
For his part, Tetsunori Ohshimo, Senior Managing Director of POC , stressed that the vessel will be essential to meet the demands of new generations of wind turbines, contributing to the advancement of the offshore sector and a more sustainable energy future in Japan.
With a global network of shipyards and technology centres in countries such as Singapore, Norway and Brazil, the company has established itself as a benchmark in the construction of specialised vessels and sustainable and efficient platforms.
The development of this heavy-lift vessel strengthens POC’s capability for complex projects, while reinforcing both companies’ commitment to innovation and sustainability in the offshore sector. The collaboration between Seatrium and POC promises to break new ground in offshore wind energy and in the transition to a cleaner energy future.
