Used for maintenance and component replacement on the Agogo FPSO, the cranes are the ideal choice for harsh offshore environments<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The RL crane series is known for its compact design and is specially designed for use on both fixed and floating offshore applications. The RL-K design is based on the RL design, and the foldable boom is predestined for space-restricted applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yinson Production secured a contract to operate and maintain the Agogo FPSO for Azule Energy, Angola\u2019s largest independent oil and gas producer and a 50\/50 joint venture between BP p.l.c. and Eni S.p.A. The Agogo FPSO will be operated in the Agogo field, located in Block 15\/06, approximately 180 kilometres west of Angola\u2019s coast. This project marks Yinson Production\u2019s entry into Angola, while their partnership with Liebherr builds on the successful collaboration established in 2016, marking their second joint project. The Agogo FPSO will expand Yinson Production\u2019s FPSO fleet to eight units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Liebherr will deliver the cranes with a maximum lifting capacity of up to 30 tonnes and a maximum boom outreach of over 30 metres each. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u2018We are pleased to be selected as the supplier of the main cranes onboard the Agogo FPSO for Angolan waters and look forward to maintaining our long-standing cooperation with Yinson Production through this new project. The advanced features and compact design of the RL 2600 and RL-K 2600 ensure an invaluable asset for our offshore customers\u2019,<\/em> expresses Oliver Odebrecht, Sales Manager General Purpose Offshore Cranes at Liebherr in Rostock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liebherr has successfully sold two offshore cranes of the type RL 2600 (Ram Luffing 2600) and RL-K 2600 (Ram Luffing knuckle boom 2600) to Yinson Production, a global energy and &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/index.php\/angola-liebherr-to-build-dual-offshore-cranes-for-azules-agogo-fpso\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":14849,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7442,7445,11],"tags":[9117,11480,160,10317,9204,2862,11909],"class_list":["post-14848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-countries","category-southern-africa","category-top-news","tag-agogo-field","tag-agogo-fpso","tag-angola","tag-azule-energy","tag-block-15-06","tag-cranes","tag-liebherr","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/liebherr-rl2600-rl-k2600-offshore-3-96dpi_w800.jpg?fit=800%2C533&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5JWkQ-3Ru","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":14197,"url":"https:\/\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/index.php\/angola-yinson-production-for-supply-of-marine-compressed-air-system-to-agogo-fpso\/","url_meta":{"origin":14848,"position":0},"title":"ANGOLA: Yinson Production for supply of marine compressed air system to Agogo FPSO","author":"","date":"January 29, 2024","format":false,"excerpt":"TMC will provide a large-capacity marine compressed air system including compressors for control and service air on board the Agogo FPSO. \u201cWe are delighted to maintain our position as the global market leader for supply of marine compressed air systems to FPSOs.
