Transdata Engineering and Handling Acquires Giant Crane from the USA to Strengthen Offshore Activities
The Grove GRT9165 is one of Manitowoc USA’s highest-capacity rough terrain units and is the first of its kind to go to Brazil, where it will be used for fueling and maintenance operations on offshore oil rigs in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
It was delivered directly to an offshore support base in Niterói by the American manufacturer in February 2020, where it will remain for two years. It will be used exclusively by a Transdata Engineering client specializing in supply and maintenance support for offshore platforms and other oil and gas infrastructures.

The ancient Japanese capital, planned over 1,200 years ago, still withstands earthquakes with colossal wooden temples and palaces, built without concrete or modern steel, by masters who created engineering capable of enduring centuries.
“The crane from the American manufacturer performs a wide range of activities on site,” says Fabio Gaeta, CEO of Transdata. “It supports PSVs (platform supply vessels), which means lifting machinery and parts used in the exploration and production of the offshore oil and gas industry. These are very demanding tasks that must be performed 24 hours a day. In addition to capacity, mobility and agility were also key factors, and despite its size, the GRT9165 can maneuver in tight spaces.”
Annual Oil Production Hitting Records
According to data from the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP), in 2019 Brazil surpassed 1 billion barrels in annual offshore oil production for the first time – a 7.78% increase from the previous year. In 2020, the country is expected to produce even more, despite the disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
“We feel that the oil and gas sector is coming back strong in Brazil,” adds Gaeta. “Many operations that were halted in recent years are being resumed. If it weren’t for the pandemic, I believe we would be in an even better position.”
