Saronic has awarded a contract worth more than $100 million to Norway’s Syncrolift to design and supply what the companies say will be the world’s largest shiplift at its planned $3 billion Port Alpha shipyard in Brownsville, Texas.
The system will feature a 300-meter (984-foot) lifting platform with a capacity of 67,000 metric tons, more than twice the lifting capacity of the next-largest installation, according to Saronic’s announcement Thursday.
Syncrolift, a subsidiary of Oslo-listed Nekkar ASA, will manage the project from its headquarters near Oslo. The company previously disclosed the contract on November 4 without identifying the customer, calling it the largest order in its history. Final delivery is scheduled for 2028.
