Singapore Offshore Logistics Operator Fits Supply Vessel with OUCO 10T20M Knuckle Boom Lift Crane

A leading Singapore-based offshore logistics operator has taken delivery of OUCO's 10T20M Knuckle Boom Lift Crane, certified by the China Classification Society (CCS). The crane was installed on one of the company's offshore tug/supply vessels to strengthen its deck-lifting capability across Singapore's busy regional oil-and-gas support routes.

The client is a Singapore ship-management and offshore logistics company that operates a fleet of tug/supply vessels serving offshore platforms, shipyards, and anchorages across Southeast Asia. Their vessels repeatedly handle a wide mix of deck cargo — from bulky supplies and provision, to heavy machinery and anchors — often under tight schedules where every lift cycle counts. As regional demand grew, the operator needed a compact, high-performance marine crane that could keep pace without occupying excessive deck space.

• Lifting both light, bulky cargo at long reach and heavy loads close to the base with a single crane
• Tight deck footprint on tug/supply vessels, limiting the number of cranes that could be fitted
• Slow lift cycle times that delayed cargo transfer during time-critical offshore operations
• Requirement for certification and reliability suitable for demanding offshore duties

OUCO supplied the 10T20M Knuckle Boom Lift Crane, a knuckle-boom design engineered specifically for the dynamic demands of offshore tug/supply ships. The crane delivers two high-performance lifting points from one machine: a 10-ton capacity at a 20-metre reach for lighter, bulkier cargo over longer distances, and a 25-ton capacity at a 5-metre reach for heavy-duty lifts such as machinery and anchors near the crane's base. This dual capability eliminated the operator's need to install multiple cranes on a single deck.

Its flexible working radius spans 3.5 m to 20 m, allowing access to tight spaces, while a hoisting speed of approximately 12 m/min sharply reduced lift cycle times. A maximum hoisting height of 100 metres supports deep offshore operations, and CCS certification gave the client confidence in the crane's build quality and compliance.

• One crane replaced the need for multiple units, saving deck space and weight.
• Dual lifting points handled both bulk supplies and heavy anchors without re-rigging.
• Faster hoisting cut cargo-transfer times on time-critical offshore runs.
• 100 m hoisting height supported deep offshore and supply missions.
• CCS certification ensured reliable, compliant performance offshore.

By integrating OUCO's 10T20M knuckle boom lift crane, the Singapore operator gained a versatile, certified marine crane that adapts to every task on its supply vessels. For ship owners and offshore logistics companies seeking a compact, powerful, and dependable lifting solution, the 10T20M delivers measurable gains in both productivity and deck efficiency.
