One of the main features of the Fugro searcher is the large A-Frame on the working deck. In order to operate this A-Frame the DELFTload crane extension was modifiedto cope with a variety of crane types.
DELFTload will be used to calculate the effects on the vessel's stability of both suspended loads in the A-frame as well as the varying project equipment stored on the large working deck.
