Release
Protea is well known globally for delivering high quality offshore handling equipment including cranes, winches and launch and recovery systems.
Recently, it has further expanded its product range with the delivery of its first winch certified for man-riding operations for installation on the Maersk Gallant Jack-up rig.
“Given its man-riding application, the certification requirements for this winch were extensive – it is fully compliant with DNV-OS-E101, NORSOK standards R-002 and R-003 and is also CE marked and approved for operations in ATEX Zone 1.” explained Lukasz Tracz, Project Manager. The winch has a SWL of 150kg and can operate at speed up to 60m/min. Ordered via Protea’s strategic partner Westcon, the winch was recently delivered to Haugesund in Norway for installation on the Jack-up rig.
“Protea can supply a wide range of winches (with hydraulic, electric and pneumatic drive options) to meet the specific needs of its customers. The addition of man riding winches further strengthens our offer and allows Protea to provide a complete suite of handling equipment for offshore platforms such as Jack-up rigs.” added Graham Manning, Protea Global Sales Manager.
