Jxy-9000C vessel
Description
The four legs with the continuous speed Jxy jacking system
and the diagonal pre-loading allow for easy and fast installation.
The Jxy-9000C is intended for use in water depths of up to 45m in a North Sea environment.
The Jxy-9000C is equipped with an 800 t heavy duty offshore
crane developed by Jxy for the Wind Turbine Installation
market. The GLC-800-ED crane combines a high capacity & high
outreach with a short minimum radius, is located on top of the
portside aft Jack-house and revolves 360o unrestricted around
the leg.
The main deck is locally reinforced for the transportation of wind
turbine parts or other heavy components. In addition the vessel
has the ability to work in the Offshore Oil & Gas sector.
