1. C-SPIDER Demonstration at the AYOP New Year’s Dinner 2026
 
During the AYOP New Year’s Dinner 2026, held in a unique industrial setting, DUTCH OFFSHORE showed two C-SPIDER compact cranes to a broad offshore audience.

An excellent opportunity to showcase how compact lifting solutions can address real offshore challenges related to access, safety, and operational efficiency.
 
Both demonstrations (one with man lifting and one with heave compensation) highlighted the flexibility of the C-SPIDER and its suitability for offshore environments where conventional cranes are either impractical or inefficient.
Compact design, offshore capability
Next to the demonstrations themselves, the event proved valuable for exchanging experiences between operators, engineers, and equipment specialists.
 
The discussions focused strongly on situations where deck space is limited, ground pressure is critical, or mobilising large cranes has a significant cost and logistical impact.
 
The compact size with electric or hybrid operation makes the C-SPIDER well suited for these scenarios.
 
Events like these underline the growing demand for compact, flexible lifting solutions that combine offshore-grade performance with a reduced operational footprint.

2. C-SPIDER – Come to one of our demo’s
 
Curious to see what the C-SPIDER can do in real life?
We now offer live demos where you can see:
●      Compact lifting and positioning
●      Man-riding capabilities with basket
●      Practical set-ups for tool-handling and small lifting operations
 
Book your demo at our yard (Nederhorst den Berg)
Bring your questions, drawings or procedures and we’ll walk through practical options together. Register via sales@dutchoffshore.com and we’ll send you the details.
 
3. Help Shape Future C-SPIDER Applications
 
To better understand how compact lifting solutions can support offshore operations, we are currently running a short online survey focused on potential use cases and required tools.
Your input helps us align future configurations, tooling, and development with real operational needs.

4. Meet us in at the North Sea Decommissioning Conference
 
 
Our colleague Leon Hendriksen will also be present at the 25th North Sea Decommissioning Conference 2026, held 9–11 February 2026 at Clarion Hotel Air, Sola – Stavanger, Norway.
 
A great opportunity to connect in person and discuss how we can support your upcoming projects.

5. Fleet Highlight – 300-ton Heavy Duty 6300 HD
 
The 300-ton Heavy Duty 6300 HD is a 300 ton heavy duty cycle crawler crane designed for demanding offshore operations. Offering the best lifting capacities available in its class, it combines high lifting performance with excellent control and stability in dynamic offshore conditions.
 
Its wide and robust boom design provides stability when working with list or heel, while maintaining a relatively small footprint compared to its lifting capability.
 
Equipped with two heavy duty winches, each delivering 45 ton line pull on 42 mm wire, the crane is ideally suited for intensive duty cycle work and heavy offshore lifting operations.
 
The Sennebogen 6300 HD offers a floating lift capacity of up to 200 tons SWL and can operate in significant wave heights up to 2–2.5 m.
 
Available from July 2026
 
 
Key specifications:
  • 300-ton heavy duty cycle crawler crane
  • 2 × 45-ton line pull winches
  • 42 mm wire rope
  • Floating lift capacity up to 200 t SWL
  • Operating up to 2–2.5 m Hs
  • Maximum line speed: 105 m/min
  • Approx. 1000 HP installed power
  • CT / AHC options and man riding capability
