do see a vision for the Middle East, the UAE and Saudi Arabia to make it safer, but we are not there yet. It’s definitely a growth opportunity. In the end, everybody will appreciate more and more the value of life and that’s what we are investing in. “My role is multi-faceted, in one respect,
it is how we produce our products. We have a lot of plants across Europe and we want to work on safety in the plant. If you do not have a safe plant to work in you can’t really roll out your vision of safety and embrace it fully so we implement and continue to carry out a lot of safety measures within our own facilities.

camera systems for tower and mobile cranes and it recently launched BlokAlert, an audio/visual warning system to alert crane operators when workers are in harm’s way. Going forward, the BlokCorp portfolio will go to market under the brand name Crosby BlokCam. Verton’s technology includes Everest
6, a 20-ton load orienting spreader beam, Everest 30, a modular load orienting system for a broad range of working load limits, and Windmaster, a load orientation device for wind turbine erection. One example of how The Crosby Group supports the offshore wind industry was recently demonstrated by an order for chain accessories from Crosby|Feubo, for a floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) project from a European client. The scope of work included the design,
manufacturing and testing of long- term mooring shackles which had to be
completed within a three-month timeframe. The team delivered the chain accessories, complete with extensive in-house machining and testing, all on time. The company also recently launched
the HFL Kenter, a high fatigue life shackle, under the Crosby|Feubo brand for the wind energy market. The shackle showcases design improvements on the popular Crosby|Feubo NDur Link, an accessory used for temporary and mobile mooring applications such as rigging and anchoring offshore platforms or vessels. The product can connect to a variety of stud link anchor chain or other mooring accessories such as sockets and swivels. Another example of how The Crosby
Group supported the offshore wind industry is with the delivery of turnbuckles for a wind turbine OEM at Kriegers Flak wind farm in the Baltic Sea off the coast of Denmark. Despite the tight delivery schedule, the company delivered 700 turnbuckles to be used together with wire slings to tighten both sides of tower sections, ensuring they don’t ovalize during transport and storage. ●
