Crane delivery with short lead time

The ECMC C25 cranes are designed specifically for challenging offshore operations, with a lifting capacity of 5 tons at a 25-meter outreach, ensuring high performance and reliability in demanding maritime environments.

“We’re pleased to see Windward moving forward with the C25 ECMC 3D crane for all the CSOV`s and continuing to choose Seaonics as their crane supplier. It reflects the strong collaboration we have with Windward and confirms the capabilities of the crane and the value it brings to a CSOV. We look forward to supporting the success of both VARD and Windward throughout the project,” says Ståle Fure, VP Sales at Seaonics.

The cranes will be delivered with only a six-month lead time, enabling an efficient vessel completion in Vietnam. With more than 20 ECMC cranes in production we are now able to deliver cranes within a short delivery time.

The CSOVs are being built at VARD’s shipyards in Vietnam with vessel deliveries in 2026.
