MacGregor crane to be fitted onto China-built dive support vessel

MacGregor, part of Cargotec, has secured a contract for the delivery of a 100T AHC crane for a dive support vessel (DSV) being built in China.

The crane delivery to the Guangzhou Salvage shipyard, for the vessel owned by Saudi Arabian Jana Marine Service Company (JMS), is scheduled in the second quarter 2026, with vessel delivery later that year.

JMS was established in April 2013 and is an exclusively-owned subsidiary of Rashed Al-Rashed & Sons Group. It provides first-class marine offshore services to the oil & gas sector in the Arabian Gulf region and beyond.

MacGregor said its local sales team will work with Guangzhou Salvage throughout the project to ensure the crane’s seamless integration into the vessel and optimise its performance.

The contract, which was booked in the fourth quarter 2024, is not reported as part of Cargotec’s orders received as MacGregor is reported as part of discontinued operations.

The order follows MacGregor’s delivery of a similar crane to the Guangzhou Salvage shipyard.

“We are delighted to have been awarded this contract,” said Pasi Lehtonen, Senior Vice President, Offshore Solutions at MacGregor. “Our 100T AHC crane is a proven solution that offers superior performance and reliability. We are confident that it will meet the customer’s needs and exceed its expectations.”
