15. Essential Innovations
Double acting jacking system
Different from Oil and Gas (where platform jacking
occurs only occasionally) , quicker operation is
required for Wind Turbine Installation Jack-up.

17. Essential Innovations
Small footprint-tall boom cranes
Offshore Cranes on floating = moving vessels
generally have robust large footprint construction.
Cranes on jack-up platforms (stable on seabed) can
be slender. Wind turbine installation requires large
lifting height, at relatively small outreach.
