Nowadays, the 'Svanen' is mainly used for offshore wind turbine installation. Northumberland Strait Crossing Project, Canada Huisman designed and built two 8,200mt transporters for this project. The skid units are designed to lift, transport and position large loads with great accuracy. A vertical jack was installed in the centre of the skid unit to lift and rotate the load.
