Malaysia Offshore Support Vessel Operator Deploys OUCO 10T20M Knuckle Boom Lift Crane

A Malaysian offshore support vessel operator has commissioned OUCO's 10T20M Knuckle Boom Lift Crane, certified by the China Classification Society (CCS), to upgrade the lifting capability of its offshore supply fleet. The crane was selected for its ability to handle the varied, round-the-clock lifting demands of Malaysia's offshore oil-and-gas support sector.

The client is a Malaysian marine operator that provides offshore support vessels to oil-and-gas platforms and field developments. Its vessels transfer equipment, spare parts, and provisions between shore bases and offshore installations, often in open-sea conditions where lifting reliability directly affects schedule and safety. The operator needed a high-performance crane that could handle mixed cargo and keep throughput high across repeated offshore voyages.

• Handling both long-reach bulk cargo and heavy short-reach lifts efficiently
• Maintaining productivity during frequent, repetitive offshore cargo transfers
• Operating reliably over long duty cycles in demanding sea conditions
• Meeting offshore certification and compliance requirements

OUCO supplied the 10T20M Knuckle Boom Lift Crane, a knuckle-boom marine crane purpose-built for offshore tug/supply ships. Its dual lifting points give the operator exceptional flexibility: 10 ton capacity at a 20 m reach for lighter, bulkier cargo such as supplies and equipment moved over longer distances, and 25 ton capacity at a 5 m reach for heavy-duty lifts like machinery and anchors positioned near the crane base. This dual capability lets a single crane replace multiple units, keeping the vessel's deck clear.

The crane's working radius spans 3.5 m to 20 m, reaching tight spaces and removing the need for extra cranes. A hoisting speed of about 12 m/min shortens lift cycle times for time-critical work, while a hoisting height of up to 100 m supports deep offshore operations. Full CCS certification reinforced the operator's confidence in quality and compliance.

• Dual lifting points handled bulk cargo and heavy loads with one crane.
• Faster hoisting improved cargo-transfer throughput on offshore runs.
• Wide working radius eliminated the need for additional cranes on deck.
• 100 m hoisting height supported deep offshore supply missions.
• CCS certification ensured reliable, compliant offshore performance.

With OUCO's 10T20M knuckle boom lift crane, the Malaysian operator gained a durable, certified, and highly versatile lifting solution for its offshore supply vessels. The crane's dual lifting points, extended working radius, and efficient hoisting make it an ideal investment for marine operators serving Southeast Asia's offshore energy sector.
