Huisman Czech Republic Contributes to the Production of a Smart Stabilization System for Offshore Wind Turbine Installation

Sviadnov, 14 May 2025 – At the Huisman Czech Republic facility, key components are being manufactured for the new Traveling Load Stabilising System (TLSS), which significantly enhances both safety and efficiency during the offshore installation of wind turbine blades. The system will be integrated into two 3,000-tonne Leg Encircling Cranes intended for Havfram’s installation vessels.

Jointly developed by Huisman, Siemens Gamesa, and Vestas, the system enables the stabilization of large wind turbine components—particularly blades, nacelles, and tower segments—during installation. By utilizing two pairs of tensioned ropes, the system greatly improves the precision and safety of handling heavy loads under windy and challenging offshore conditions.

“Huisman Czech Republic plays a major role in this project. Our facility is producing the complete intelligent switchgear room (E-room) and two key components of the system—the boom trolleys,” said Tomáš Zamarski, Manager Projects at Huisman Czech Republic. “These trolleys allow smooth movement of the tensioning ropes along the crane boom, ensuring maximum load stability.”

The TLSS system stands out for its high positioning accuracy thanks to a special position control mode. Unlike conventional systems that operate with constant tension, this approach provides better support and thus greater control over the handled load. The entire stabilization system is integrated into the crane’s structure and can be operated directly from the cabin.

Components manufactured in Sviadnov will be integrated into the Leg Encircling Cranes with a lifting capacity of over 3,000 tonnes, currently being developed within Huisman. Parts of the cranes are also being produced at the Huisman Czech Republic facility.
