The vessels was built at STX in St. Nazaire, France and has a PK 150002 M marine crane placed in the centre of the top deck, one of 18 decks in total. The 362,10 metres long Harmony of the Seas can accommodate 6.780 guests in total. The PK 150002 M has an outreach of 27 metres and is fully DNV certified. The crane is mounted centrally on the top deck and will mainly be used for cargo handling from top to lower decks. One of the first duties the crane fulfilled already perfectly, lifting and exchanging palm trees in the shopping area.
PALFINGER MARINE already received a follow-up order for an identical crane for another cruise ship, which will be the same type and design as Harmony of the seas. This marine crane will be delivered to STX end of 2016.
