Previous nomination of Barge Master for the Offshore Energy Innovation Award:

The Barge Master T40 motion compensated crane was nominated for the Offshore Energy Innovation award at the Offshore Energy exhibition in Amsterdam , earlier this year. Although Barge Master did not win the award, the jury was very praiseful about the BM-T40 :
“The world’s first three-dimensional (3D) motion compensated crane. Barge Master says it is a game changer, but this is also acknowledged by the clients and OTC 2016. Enabling a new way of working, making offshore operations more safe, efficient and cost effective. Solving one of the biggest problems, waiting on weather. Compensating roll, pitch and heave, giving steady loads without swinging. All ensuring a more safe, efficient and reliable modus.
These 3D / 6 DOF motion compensating systems are definitely the future of the offshore industry. Using this concept in loading and offloading of offshore goods in difficult conditions can improve the time and sea-state of the operation. The jury considers this a truly innovative approach to offshore lifting, with substantial cost and safety impact. The innovation takes the principles of heave compensation to new 3D heights, with great impact on many offshore operations in terms of cost efficiency and safety. The jury expects that this innovation will contribute greatly to the offshore industry.”
Barge Master is very proud for this recognition by such a respectable jury.


The Annual Offshore Support Journal Conference, Awards & Exhibition 2017 will be held on the 8th and 9th of February in London.
