MacGregor, part of Cargotec, has secured a contract for the delivery of a 100T AHC crane for a dive support vessel (DSV) being built in China.
The crane delivery to the Guangzhou Salvage shipyard, for the vessel owned by Saudi Arabian Jana Marine Service Company (JMS), is scheduled in the second quarter 2026, with vessel delivery later that year.
The DSV commenced construction in December 2024 at the Xinhui base of Guangzhou Salvage. The vessel has an overall length of 97.8 meters, a beam of 23.2 meters, and a depth of 8.6 meters, designed for unlimited navigation areas and classed by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS). It features an all-steel structure with a bulbous bow and a square stern, powered by a hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system. Additionally, the vessel is equipped with saturation diving systems capable of operating at depths of up to 200 meters and ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles), along with DP-2 dynamic positioning capabilities.
It is worth mentioning that this vessel is the first offshore vessel of ABS to apply for the Intelligent and Cybersecurity Naturalization Symbol, capable of performing diving support, platform operation and maintenance, and other related offshore operations, making it an ultra-high-specification, multi-functional, saturated diving support vessel.
JMS was established in April 2013 and is an exclusively-owned subsidiary of Rashed Al-Rashed & Sons Group. It provides first-class marine offshore services to the oil & gas sector in the Arabian Gulf region and beyond.
MacGregor said its local sales team will work with Guangzhou Salvage throughout the project to ensure the crane’s seamless integration into the vessel and optimise its performance.
The contract, which was booked in the fourth quarter 2024, is not reported as part of Cargotec’s orders received as MacGregor is reported as part of discontinued operations.
The order follows MacGregor’s delivery of a similar crane to the Guangzhou Salvage shipyard.
