Particular to the lifting equipment, Vuyk had the honor to design the complete system. This including the capability to lower the A-frame backward in addition to a the Fly Jib. Later through its lifetime, the vessel was provided with several upgrades to the Fly Jib, extending the crane’s hook height to now 75 meters. Vuyk Engineering Rotterdam continues to have a strong relationship with Bonn & Mees by providing consultancy during high-risk lift operations and offshore works.
