This represents a significant breakthrough, particularly for waters like the raucous North Sea, where Barge Master does a lot of its business.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vE8_aE1DRtk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The T40 enables the ship to work more than 90 percent of the year,&#8221; says Eelko May, Barge Master&#8217;s technical director. &#8220;Other vessels can be limited to 50 to 60 percent. Sometimes these lifting operations are not possible at all.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The T40 follows a much larger predecessor introduced in 2009, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.barge-master.com\/products\/bm-t700\/?type=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">T700<\/a>, capable of loads up to 700 tons and used primarily during construction of offshore installations. Barge Master started work on the T40 in 2013 after Shell requested a smaller version for maintenance, major repairs and restarts.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally, operators build a crane into each rig for the heavy lifting. With one T40 on one vessel, Barge Master can service 15 platforms, saving tens of millions of dollars in crane installation and maintenance costs.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/29mbhsk5cS8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The system has a small footprint allowing any vessel to easily accommodate the motion compensated crane. It allows safe transfer of cargo or personnel, fully compensated up to significant wave height of 3 meters. The Barge Master T40 sold to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wagenborg.com\/our-stories\/the-new-standard-in-offshore-support-and-maintenance\">Royal Wagenborg<\/a> for a ten-year NAM\/Shell charter for maintaining gas platforms in the North Sea, works in wave heights up to Hs 3m. Their first year was a great success, significant cost reductions were realized due to high workability and increase of production. The BM-T40 delivers on its promise, and therefor platform cranes and jack-ups are becoming obsolete.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u2018We would like to thank all members of the Spotlight Award Committee for granting us with such an important award! The acknowledgement for our next generation motion compensation equipment means a great deal to all of us at Barge Master.
