Liebherr has secured an agreement to deliver two state-of-the-art offshore cranes—the RL 2600 and its variant, the RL-K 2600—to Singapore-based Yinson Production. These cranes are specifically tailored for installation on the Agogo FPSO, a floating production, storage, and offloading unit set to operate in Angola’s Agogo field.
Designed for the harsh conditions typical of offshore environments, the RL series cranes combine a compact footprint with robust lifting capabilities. The RL-K variant features a foldable boom, making it highly suitable for space-limited applications. As Yinson Production expands its FPSO fleet—now totaling eight units—this new project not only marks their entry into the Angolan market but also builds on a longstanding collaboration with Liebherr dating back to 2016.
Each crane boasts a maximum lifting capacity of up to 30 tonnes and offers a boom outreach surpassing 30 meters. Following installation, maintenance and technical support will be managed by Liebherr Portugal, ensuring efficient service and rapid response times that are critical for offshore operations.
