In Trondheim, six Liebherr cranes are constructing the Norwegian Ocean Technology Centre, set to become one of the most advanced in the world.
The Norwegian Ocean Technology Centre will contribute to the development and restructuring of the ocean-based industries locally, nationally, and globally. The project, undertaken on behalf of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and SINTEF Ocean, will further strengthen Norway’s leading role in sustainable ocean resource management, offshore energy and environmentally friendly shipping.
Six cranes are operating on the site: four 280 EC-H 12 Litronic, one 280 EC-H 16 Litronic and one 81 K.1 fast-erecting crane, handling steel and concrete structures as well as prefabricated components.
Crane technology requirements are particularly demanding due to the coastal location, with variable weather and strong winds. Liebherr’s team, together with its Norwegian partner UCO (Utleiecompagniet AS), supports contractor HENT AS with detailed engineering work and structural calculations.
Completion is scheduled for 2030. The new research centre will include state-of-the-art wet and dry laboratories, where research will focus on offshore renewable energy, sustainable aquaculture and the digital simulation of maritime processes.
