Kito Crosby has secured a significant offshore contract to design and supply Crosby Fairlead and Horizontal Block systems with a rated capacity of 600 tons, forming a critical part of an 800-tonne riser pull-in package for a new Floating Production Unit (FPU) in the Gulf of America.
Kito Crosby has secured a significant offshore contract to design and supply Crosby Fairlead and Horizontal Block systems with a rated capacity of 600 tons, forming a critical part of an 800-tonne riser pull-in package for a new Floating Production Unit (FPU) in the Gulf of America.
The award, granted in Q4 2025, reinforces Kito Crosby’s position as a trusted provider of high-capacity load-handling solutions for demanding offshore environments. The project will be executed in close collaboration between Kito Crosby, its business partner MDL (Maritime Developments) and the end client, an international energy major.
Why Crosby?
Crosby was selected for its ability to deliver a technically advanced, fatigue-resistant solution tailored to the project’s stringent requirements, including space, weight, and interface constraints. Key differentiators include:
- Proven performance of high-capacity Fairlead and Block systems
- Compact, weight-efficient design supporting topside limitations
- High operational reliability under dynamic offshore loads
- Compliance with offshore standards and customer specifications
Engineering, manufacturing, and delivery will align with the overall FPU construction and installation schedule. The systems are designed for long-term operational integrity and safe handling during critical offshore operations.
