Palfinger supplies offshore crane for Korea’s first locally built crew transfer vessel

Type: Supply Agreement · Technology: Offshore Wind · Country: South Korea · Announced: 2026-06-19

Palfinger delivered its PK 25.001 M offshore crane to Korea’s first locally built crew transfer vessel (CTV), KWINDS 1, constructed by Eunsung Heavy Industries. The crane is a foldable knuckle boom model designed for offshore environments and crew transfer operations, marking the first deployment of this enhanced crane model in the Asia-Pacific region. The PK 25.001 M builds on the earlier PK 23.500 M model and is already in use with operators such as Farra Marine and Northern Offshore Services. The crane features optimized boom geometry and Palfinger’s Power Link system to deliver higher lifting performance while maintaining a compact design. It also includes PAL40 overload protection technology, allowing operators to maintain partial crane functionality during sudden load fluctuations.
