Palfinger Marine, known for its customized marine, offshore and windcranes has signed a service contract with E-Crane, making them a licensed service partner for the maintenance of Palfinger cranes. Specifically, this is for the wind turbines of the Thornton Bank. These cranes are managed by Senvion Benelux, the Belgian service hub of the German Senvion group.
The first experiences of the cooperation, for example the repair of a platform crane during phase 1 of the Thornton Bank project, were defined by Senvion as goal driven. Thanks to Senvion, E-Crane was brought into contact with Palfinger and after a thorough audit, E-Crane was certified as a licensed service partner. E-Crane Offshore Services will cover repair and maintenance of the Palfinger windcranes. In the future, this partnership can be extended to installation and commissioning and to other countries.
