GustoMSC technology expands jacking capacity for next-generation offshore wind vessels

ASYM R&P technology builds on decades of experience in rack & pinion jacking systems. The patent-pending technology improves how loads are distributed throughout the existing system architecture, creating a more efficient use of structural capacity within the same vessel footprint.

Rather than relying on conventional scaling methods that require larger components and added weight, ASYM R&P technology increases performance through an asymmetrical design integrated into GustoMSC’s established rack & pinion jacking system and jack-up design.

As offshore wind projects move into deeper waters and challenging environments with larger turbine classes, installation vessels will need to handle higher loads and larger components without sacrificing efficiency or increasing complexity. ASYM R&P technology reflects NOV’s continued focus on advancing practical, field-ready solutions that help clients prepare for the next phase of offshore wind development.
