At the Port Fourchon facility, which operates 24/7, the company’s main crane is a 4600 Manitowoc Ringer Crane rated at 650 tons (590 metric ton) with a 330-ft (100-m) boom length, Como says. It is among the largest cranes at the port, and is installed atop a limestone pad near the dockside bulkhead.

“The crane greatly enhances Delmar’s ability to support the requirements for deepwater GoM operations,” he says. “The extended boom reach, along with 600 ft (183 m) of dockside access, permits multiple vessel load-outs without repositioning either the vessel or the crane.”
He adds that the facility has additional lifting capacity, including a 150-ton (136-metric ton) crawler crane, two 52,000-lb (23,587-kg) heavy lift forklifts, and a state-of-the-art dockside handling system for easy loading and offloading of anchor chain.
