b.offshore GmbH has installed a platform with an integrated overhead crane for a converter station in the North Sea. This solution enables easy and safe access to the pumps and their replacement without exposing service personnel to danger. The project phases included development and design of the system, production monitoring at the steel manufacturer, the purchase of attachments including the crane, and offshore installation. Shortly after installation, the system was successfully put into operation.
