I. Project Background

For an offshore operation project at a port in the Middle East, one marine crane was to be installed on each of the Bahraini offshore working vessels: HADI 44 and HADI 2.

These vessels are approximately 54 meters in length and 14 meters in breadth, classified as working/repair vessels, and also categorized as oil service vessels, platform supply vessels (PSVs) or tugs.They are mainly responsible for port material handling, offshore equipment maintenance, emergency rescue and other tasks in Mina Salman/Manama Port, Bahrain, and the surrounding Persian Gulf waters.

The customer's key requirements were:

• Achieve long-reach and precise lifting in a limited deck space
• Meet high corrosion resistance and reliability demands in salt-spray marine environments

Our recommended marine telescopic boom crane was selected as the core lifting solution for this project, thanks to its lightweight structure, variable working radius, and anti-corrosion design.

II. Core Technical Specifications

Key technical parameters of the marine telescopic boom crane:

• Type: Hydraulic telescopic straight boom crane (Marine Telescopic Boom Crane)
• Safe Working Load (SWL):20 ton @ 3 m radius,10 ton @ 10 m radius,0.85 ton @ 31 m radius (full extension)
• Boom travel: Minimum length 8 m, full extension 31 m, infinitely adjustable
• Slewing range: 360° full hydraulic rotation
• Corrosion protection: Hot-dip galvanizing + epoxy zinc-rich coating; pivot pins and pulleys made of 316 stainless steel; meets C5-M high corrosion marine environment standard
• Hydraulic proportional control and limit protection system; lifting positioning error ≤ 50 mm for high efficiency and safety
• Drive system: Electro-hydraulic
• Electrical components: ABB motor; electrical parts sealed in the base
• Hydraulic core components: Parker
• Safety devices: Overload protection, height limit switch, slewing limit switch, angle limit switch, emergency stop switch, hydraulic proportional control system; supports manual and joystick (electric) operation modes
• Certificates: Product Quality Certificate, CCS product certificate, Quality Guarantee Certificate
• Installation: Suitable for 50–60 m offshore service vessels; base flange fully matches the deck structure of HADI series vessels

III. Core Application Scenarios & Value

1. Precise Port Material Handling

At Mina Salman Port / Manama Port, Bahrain, HADI 44/28 is required to lift heavy equipment, spare parts, and small containers from shore to operating positions.

• With a lifting capacity of 20 ton @ 3m, the marine telescopic boom crane efficiently handles generators, pump units, and other critical equipment.
• The crane's telescopic boom extends up to 31m, covering cross-vessel and cross-platform lifting requirements.
• Hydraulic proportional control ensures positioning accuracy ≤ 50 mm. Lifting cycle reduced from 45 minutes to 27 minutes, improving efficiency by 40%.

2. Offshore Equipment Maintenance Lifting

For equipment installation and dismantling on offshore platforms in the Persian Gulf:

• The telescopic boom crane quickly reaches target positions without scaffolding, greatly reducing downtime.
• C5-M high corrosion protection withstands severe salt-spray environments, extending service life of key components to 8–10 years and reducing maintenance costs by 30%.
• 360° full rotation enables docking at any angle, adapting to complex offshore working conditions.

3. Rapid Emergency Rescue Response

In case of sudden equipment failure or personnel emergency:

• Boom fully deploys within 3 minutes for fast cross-region response.
• Anti-swing control ensures stable and safe lifting. Combined with overload protection and limit alarms, the marine crane has achieved zero safety incidents over 8+ years of operation.
• Certified by Bahraini and GCC marine safety authorities, becoming a core competitive advantage for clients expanding in the Middle East offshore market.

Ⅳ. Advantages of Crane & Vessel Compatibility

• Maximize Space Utilization: The telescopic boom crane can be fully retracted when not in use, occupying minimal deck area and perfectly matching the compact layout of HADI series work vessels.
• Weather Resistance for the Persian Gulf Environment: C5‑M high‑grade corrosion protection is fully aligned with marine construction standards, ensuring stable long‑term operation in Bahrain's high‑salt spray and strong sunlight climate.
• Flexible Parameters for Multiple Scenarios: With a lifting capacity ranging from 0.85T to 20T and an operating radius adjustable from 3m to 31m, the marine telescopic boom crane can be precisely tuned according to load weight and working distance, supporting the "multi‑purpose" operation mode of HADI series vessels.
• Standardized Installation: The base flange is fully compatible with the deck structure of HADI 44 / HADI 28, with an installation time of only 3–5 days without disrupting normal vessel operations.

V. Project Results & Market Value

• Efficiency Improvement: Lifting operation efficiency increased by 40%, helping customers seize the offshore service market in Bahrain and the Persian Gulf.
• Cost Control: The corrosion-resistant design reduces the frequency of rust removal and painting, cutting annual maintenance costs by 30%, providing a more competitive total life-cycle operating cost.
• Safety Certification: Zero safety incidents have enabled HADI 44/28 to pass maritime safety certifications in Bahrain and other Gulf countries, becoming a core competitive advantage for customers expanding their offshore engineering business in the Middle East.
• Brand Endorsement: As supporting equipment for the vessels, this marine telescopic boom crane has provided authoritative proof of its application in offshore operations in the Middle East.

Ⅵ. Customer Feedback
