Subsea operations: the new Sormec challenge

Sormec provide lifting options – systems like AHC (Active Heave Compensation) for subsea handling. Subsea cranes are constantly adapting to wave motions and increases precision and load stability for a precise lowering of the loads under the waves.

This year Sormec has projected an AHC crane for BP in Baku, Azerbaijan. The model is 1600/2S, a big challenge for Sormec team.

Our control system assures reliable and offer safety in critical operations. Sormec subsea cranes can be delivered in different sizes from 10 tons up to 250 tons at depths down to 3000 meters.
