Amasus has expanded its offshore wind transport capability by adding two purpose-built vessels designed for large-scale component moves, each fitted with three LS-C 100 ship cranes.

The company said the crane configuration enables the vessels to handle wind turbine blades independently, reducing reliance on shore-based lifting support during cargo operations. Each crane is rated for lifts of up to 70 tonnes.

Both ships were built for Siemens Gamesa and will remain dedicated to its offshore wind activities. Amasus said the additional capacity is intended to support higher-volume component transport with greater operational autonomy.

Liebherr Maritime Cranes said the LS-C 100 design reflects its approach to maritime handling, combining a compact footprint with a high boom pivot point to improve operator visibility. The company also highlighted a maintenance-friendly structure and integration options for specialised vessels.

Gregor Levold, General Manager Sales Offshore, Ship and Port Cranes at Liebherr Maritime Cranes, said the project demonstrates how “engineering precision and customer collaboration” can open new possibilities for maritime logistics.
