Welcome to Conbit at the Belgian Offshore Days 2026

Conbit supports the offshore wind sector with essential lifting solutions for substations. We specialize in crane replacements, lifting operations beneath substations, and handling loads beyond the operational limits of your existing crane.

We look forward to having meaningful discussions about these key aspects of offshore operations at the Belgian Offshore Days, on March 11th and 12th in Ostend, Belgium.

Meet the Conbit experts

Please feel free to stop by booth 246 and have a chat with our crane expert Mateus Lampert and Jasper Horsten who is an expert in the field of offshore lifting solutions. Both are eager to address any inquiries or questions you have regarding your project needs.

Replacing Cranes at Offshore Substations

Replacing a crane at an offshore substation is a significant project, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. At Conbit, we handle the entire process from start to finish, making sure every phase runs smoothly and safely.

From sourcing the new crane to removing the old one, our team carefully plans and coordinates each step. This includes pedestal modifications, engineering assessments, third-party approvals, and strict compliance with Management of Work System (MWS) requirements.

One key advantage: when Conbit is replacing deck cranes you do not require crane vessels. That means a more efficient and cost-effective approach.

Once preparations are complete, we move on to installation, followed by thorough commissioning and testing. Our goal is simple: to deliver a safe, reliable crane system that performs exactly as it should in demanding offshore conditions.

With our full-service approach, clients can rely on a well-structured project that enhances operational efficiency and long-term reliability.

Lifting Services Below Substation Topsides

Conbit also provides specialized lifting solutions for work beneath offshore substations.

We support the installation of J-tubes and export cables and work closely with diving contractors to ensure smooth subsea operations. Whether the project involves modifying an existing substation or replacing critical components below deck, we offer a practical, turnkey solution.

Our focus is always on precision, smart engineering, and careful project management. By minimizing downtime and optimizing execution, we help strengthen the performance and integrity of subsea infrastructure in offshore environments.

 

We look forward to meeting you at the Belgian Offshore Days, and as an additional treat we welcome you to come and try a Conbit brewed beer at our booth. This year’s beer is an India Pale Ale named The Reliant Rascal, a small gesture of our appreciation for your interest. Come and enjoy responsibly and please don’t drink if you’re driving home. We’d love to share a toast, a story, and a laugh, we’ll see you there.
