Offshore lifting is a core competence brought into OIS‑Conbit through Conbit’s long‑standing experience in complex offshore operations. This expertise is now strongly embedded in our organisation in Rostock, strengthening our ability to support offshore wind projects in the Baltic Sea and beyond. Offshore lifting requires more than execution alone; it demands thorough engineering, risk awareness, and disciplined preparation. Our teams combine practical offshore experience with structured engineering to deliver safe and predictable lifting operations.

During offshore wind installation, lifting operations are critical to project success. OIS‑Conbit supports installation activities involving heavy and complex components, temporary structures, and installation tooling. We develop lifting concepts, method statements, and risk assessments tailored to the specific asset and environment. By working closely with installation contractors and OEMs, we ensure that lifting operations are well integrated into the overall installation sequence, reducing interfaces and execution risks.
Offshore lifting also plays an essential role during the operations and maintenance phase of offshore wind assets. Component replacements, corrective maintenance, and upgrades often require carefully engineered lifting solutions in constrained offshore environments. OIS‑Conbit supports these activities with engineered lifts that consider access limitations, weather exposure, and interaction with existing structures. This approach enables safe execution while minimising downtime and disruption toon going operations.
Where appropriate, offshore lifting activities are supported by rope access solutions. Conbit holds IRATA certification, allowing lifting and maintenance scopes to be combined with rope access techniques when access is limited or traditional methods are not practical. This capability increases flexibility during offshore interventions and supports efficient execution while maintaining high safety standards.
Across all offshore lifting services, OIS‑Conbit applies an engineering‑led approach. Preparation is central, with clear scope definition, risk identification, and transparent communication before execution starts. Offshore lifting is often closely linked to electrical, hydraulic, and crane services, and our integrated capability allows these disciplines to be aligned under one plan. By combining Conbit’s offshore lifting expertise with local execution from Rostock, OIS‑Conbit delivers reliable lifting solutions for offshore wind installation and long‑term asset maintenance.

Replacing deck cranes from offshore substations will be more cost effecting using modular lifting systems.
